If you’re like me, it can take weeks to name a new cat–or cats. You get to know him, her, or them while trying names on for size. Some don’t fit quite right, some don’t sound quite right, but there will always be one that is perfect–even if it takes weeks to uncover.
If you’re looking for something more cat-curious than the standard “Kitty” we’ve got some great suggestions for you–courtesy of Rover’s national database of cat names, plus 10 years I spent working in animal shelters, meeting loads of clever cats. During a busy kitten season I faced the absolutely fantastic challenge of having to come up with thousands of names that were cute, clever, smart, snarky, sweet…you get the picture…and spoke to the uniqueness of each special cat. All this said, let’s get to the fun stuff–clever cat names galore! If you’re looking for a name for your kitty that’s a bit less run-of-the-mill, and that’ll make people say “Aha, I see what you did there!” look no further.
