How to Name Your Cat
Naming your cat can be intimidating no matter what, but adding in the factor of a language you may not speak can make it even harder on you. Start by identifying some of the characteristics you like the most about your cat. Maybe there’s something specific about your cat’s appearance or personality that you feel would help narrow the field for a fitting name?
The options are as endless as the words in the Spanish language, so start by trying to narrow things down to 10–20 characteristics you like the most about your cat and work outward from there.
In Conclusion
This is only 150 of our favorite Spanish cat names, but there are as many options as words in the Spanish language. Remember that Spanish contains gendered words, so look up words if you are unsure if they are feminine or masculine and you have your heart set on one or the other. When it comes down to it, though, it’s totally up to you what and how you name your cat!
