I think I found the ''choro'' part's ethymology. ちょろまかす ''choromakasu'' means to pilfer, to filch, to make off with, which fits the stealing nature explained in the pokédex entry very well. The ''neko'' part of the name is obvious of course.

I think the ''choro'' comes from ちょろちょろ, which means ''in trickles''. Searching google, I've found many cats named/qualified as ちょろ because of their fur having some spots with diferent color. | ::I think the ''choro'' comes from ちょろちょろ, which means ''in trickles''.
