What do you think of the names Beetuft and Sprucetail? (Both female)

i want to start this off by saying that at first i thought this said beeftuft, and now im considering visiting an optometrist
bees actually come in more than just yellow with black stripes, but if we’re basing this off what a normal honey bee looks like, i think bee- would work for a rufous black (meaning a very red-tinted black tabby, look up toygers and bengals for an idea of what i mean)
ive said before that -tuft would work for a semi-longhair or longhair cat, especially one with tufts of long hair on their ears. look up somali cats for an example of a semi-longhair, rufoused black tabby. somalis are ticked tabbies, but it’d work for any kind of tabby pattern
spruce- would work for black or chocolate tabbies, spruce bark is dark and kind of washed out, but it’s brown enough that it could work for either
-tail is a good appearance suffix. there’s no shame in using more common appearance suffixes; i find that trying to find a unique suffix isn’t always the best route. sprucetail might have a lot of white spotting with only her tail having color, or maybe her tail is very fluffy and looks like the fluffy-looking branches of a spruce tree
