Obbly a.k.a. Oblomov (Wikipedia) also once appeared (twice) in Self-portrait as Noburo Kuroda's kitten, 2001.

People often asked me, "why Oblomov, what does it mean?" Well, I just thought the famous indolence of the title character could really apply to a cat:
Oblomov is a young, generous nobleman who seems incapable of making important decisions or undertaking any significant actions. Throughout the novel he rarely leaves his room or bed. In the first 50 pages, he manages only to move from his bed to a chair.(from the Wikipedia page linked above)
