It seems to me Ice was an opposite to Fire and Weasel and Cat are alternate animal names. The corresponding IceCatination would be to use the opposite of thunder and a different very general name like bird for example Silentfish or Mutehorse or Peacepig.

IceCrow, IceRooster or some other Ice$BIRD in the true spirit of the "iceweaselization", maybe...
Of course it should probably be up to the person who does the actual coding to choose the name rather than the rest of us in the peanut gallery.
