How do I choose a name for my cat?
Cat name ideas can come from:
- Personality and quirks
- Physical traits (fur colour, markings, size, fluffiness)
- Details from your cat's rescue or adoption story
- Pop culture (your favourite TV shows, movies, music or celebrities)
- Literature
- Mythology and folklore
- Food and drinks
- Nature
- Human names
When thinking about a name for your new cat, you might need to observe their behaviour and get an idea of their unique personality for some time before choosing the name that feels just right.
What makes a good cat name?
A good cat name is one that you love and feels like it fits your cat’s personality. It can be a classic (like Luna, Salem or Nala) or something more creative... even a little weird! Shorter names, or names that can be shortened into nicknames, might be practical. Most importantly, it should be a name that feels natural to say when you call your kitty.
