How to Name Your Cat
Before we look at names, here are some helpful tips on naming your cat. The most important aspect to keep in mind is to take your time. Don’t feel rushed to pick a name right away if you’re not sure. Take time to get to know your cat’s unique personality before deciding on a name.
Think about whether you’ll be saying the full name or using a shorter version as a nickname. You can choose an “official” name that’s long, but will you be calling your cat by a shorter nickname more frequently?
You can also try out some name possibilities for your cat before deciding on the final one. Say the names a few times and observe your cat. Maybe your cat perks up their ears and responds to some names more than others. Below, we’ll look at different categories of Halloween names, starting with names for black cats!
