190 Halloween Cat Names: Ideas for Your Spooky and Mysterious Cat

Picking a name is a fun part of getting a new cat or kitten. There are so many names to choose from, it can be hard to decide on a good one.

In this article, we’ll focus on Halloween-inspired names for your cat. Whether your cat is black or any other color, we’ll help you find the right name for your furry little familiar!

How to Name Your Cat

Before we look at specific names, here are some helpful tips on naming your cat.

The most important thing 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 some 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 its ears and responds to some names more than others.
