Good names for a cat
Morituri:
Oh, I like that one. The word's certainly stretchy enough to be used as an epithet for a living being, it just hasn't been used that way.
I had gotten as far as 'entropogenic' which is still pretty darn vague, and an adjective rather than an epithet. And it suffers the usual problem of outer-edge vocabulary which would be that almost nobody knows what it means.
hedgie:
And maybe not English, but going into Classic mythology, "Eris" probably common enough.
All Hail Discordia!
Edit: If I were going to be slightly more esoteric, maybe "Kallisti". Downside to that one, is that one might mistake it for a GoT reference.

Pumuckl? Why would anyone name their cat after a small, mischievous kobold with red hair who can become invisible?
... Nevermind.
You could name your cat Alley.
"OMG, who are you?!?!?" - "Alley Cat".

'Cos, you know, it'd be appropriate for a cat, but if that specifically is a word in English, I can't think of it.

Discord (the original meaning, not a dig at the app).
Eris also works for those purposes.
Here's a list of deities associated with chaos. Though most of them are for primordial chaos. You might look into trickster figures for a name.
I recently learned that cats hear the 'gee' syllable better than most other sounds [enPR: jē] [IPA: /ˈdʒi/].

混沌 (Hłndłn - pron. Hwendwen) represents primordial chaos, and is sometimes referred to as the God of Chaos in Chinese mythology.
