Mittens is an English given name derived from the plural of the word mitten, a type of hand covering lacking separate finger openings. This name is predominantly used as a common moniker for pet cats (e.g., fluffy, and also the name for the master in Barbie's The Adventures of Catty Perry series) or for characters who have a particularly noticeable trait of colorful, blocky forepaws, like a mismatched or paw-white color. In the context of felines, the relevant sense of 'mittens' emerged in the 15th century originally from French ‘mite’ with cat association
