Choosing a Cat Name

Almost anything can be a cat name. You’re free to name your cat whatever you wish, but they usually respond best to words that are no more than two syllables. Longer names can confuse them and be harder to pick out of all the other sounds.

Consider your cat’s appearance and personality. Finding a name that reflects those characteristics is easier than you think. You can also choose names based on your hobbies, interests, and beliefs.

The name you give your cat will last throughout their lifetime. Changing your cat’s name can confuse them. Once they learn their name, it’s best to stick with it. Giving your cat an inappropriate name might be funny for a while but imagine having to call that name out in front of other people. This name will also be called out to you in the waiting area of a vet’s office, so be sure it’s one that you won’t mind others hearing.

There are plenty of names from which to choose! Here’s our list to help you decide.
