How to Name Your Mystical Cat

The most important thing to remember while looking for a name for your cat is that you can take as much time as you need. It can even be helpful to refrain from choosing a name until your cat has lived in your home for a few weeks. This will provide time for your cat to settle in, feel comfortable, and let their true personality start to shine.

As you get to know your cat, start looking for names that seem to fit their personality. They may remind you of some of your favorite fictional fantasy characters, or some names may just sound right for your cat.

Start to make a list of names that you’d like to pair with your cat. Once you have several names listed, try calling your cat by these names. You’ll start to find out which ones feel right, and you’ll eventually be left with one perfect name for your cat.
