Cute Cat Names: 500+ Cute Cat Names Ideas and Tips for Naming a Cat

The first thing many new cat owners do when they welcome a feline friend into the home is choosing a name. In fact, some even pick out a word before the little fluff ball is running around their new home! But how do you go about choosing such a name? After all, it’s a big responsibility!

Whatever word you choose will be called out to this little kitty for the rest of their life. That’s why many people like to match the name to the personality of their cat, or perhaps choose something that holds special meaning in their own heart. Others prefer to choose a name that makes them laugh or smile. It’s entirely up to the owner.

This blog is about helping you choose the best name for your new cat, whatever package that may come in. Hopefully, at least one name from our lists of hundreds should jump out at you. So, without further ado, let’s get naming!

How can I choose a name for my cat?

The process of choosing a name doesn’t really change, no matter what you are naming. Like new parents do with children, having many names at your disposal is the best way to go. The chances of the perfect name just popping into your head are low.

We recommend going through long lists of names and highlighting the ones that jump out at you as possible options. Try to create a shortlist of ten or so names, then cross them out one by one until you are left with a winner.

Of course, the winner should be a name that you absolutely love, and perhaps one you think suits your new feline companion.  

Where should I start when naming my cat?

One of the best places to start when it comes to naming your new cat is this blog! We have compiled the perfect collection of some of the world’s most popular, funny, unique, and cute cat names.

If you want to look beyond this blog, then a baby name book is a great tool at your disposal. Lots of people choose to name their cats with human names. Even if you don’t end up picking one, it may spark some inspiration.

However, if you would prefer your name to be a little more natural, look to your life for inspiration. Maybe you could name your cat after a loved one, family member, or friend. Perhaps you could be inspired by a favorite TV show, film, book, character, musician, or celebrity.

How can I make my cat’s name unique?

There are two main ways to guarantee that your cat name stands out from the crowd. It’s pretty simple actually. The more personal you make the name to you, the less likely it is to be used by someone else for their cat. Use some of your favorite things or people as inspiration.

On the other hand, or paw, you could make the name very unique to the cat in question. Pick out something about their appearance or personality and use that to inspire the name, so it would suit them and describe their best features. Maybe they have a mark on their fur, a certain color in their eye, or a funny movement they always do.
