Female cats are often referred to as Queen's or Queenie's. (But I would still use this name, it makes me think of a '20s flapper;)
In the 19th and 20th centuries Britain, 'Queenie' was very common as a nickname for women with the then-Queen's name — for instance Victoria, or Elizabeth. This was especially noted in the East End of London. For British characters or people born in the early Victorian era, note that her name was very probably Victoria, or for those born c. late 1920s–1950s, Elizabeth. This phenomenon is almost unknown today, however.
The name Queenie was given to 40 baby girls born in the US in 2012.
Has also been used as a nickname for "Regina."
