In this article
Cats may be cute and cuddly most of the time, but most also have a switch they can flip that turns them mischievous, and maybe just a tiny bit evil. If you have a feline that leans more towards the dastardly side of the spectrum, you might find that the perfect name for them reflects that. After all, why not choose an evil name for your (adorably) evil kitty?
If you’re finding it a challenge to pick a name for your dastardly cat, we’ve got you covered with this list of over 150 evil cat names. These names come from villains, mythology, famous cats, and more!
How to Name Your Cat
When it’s time to pick a name for your cat, there are many ways you can go about the task. You might select a single aspect of their personality, like their mischievous nature, and choose a name that matches. Or you might go with a name that’s based on the color of their fur. Better yet, you could consider your cat as a whole and work from there.
However you decide to pick a name is up to you, but the way you choose to do so will give you different names to look at. So, it could be wise to consider names from every angle—personality, the color of their coat, or as a whole—to open up a world of cat name options.
