100+ Funny Cat Names: Ideas for Comical Kitties 

Funny Cat Names

Cats are wildly captivating. If there is one pet that can manage to balance a number of vastly different characteristics and wrap it up in a stoically calculated package, it’s cats. If you are new to cat ownership, you will quickly learn how multidimensional and absolutely hilarious they are. From the outside, you might notice a regal disposition, poised demeanor, or sassy attitude, but deep down your kitty is just as loving, quirky, and comical as any other pet!

Almost everything our cats do can be interpreted as funny, from their serious faces to accidental mishaps. For anyone who needs convincing, we challenge you to adopt one of your very own (or babysit!) and watch them blossom into unintentional comedians. So for the silly cat in your life, we suggest one of these funny cat names.

The definition of funny might differ between owners, so we’ve made sure to include as many funny cat names as possible.

Punny Cat Names

We love a good cat joke, so naturally, we’d lean into what the universe has to offer for cat pun names. Each of these suggestions is a perfect marriage of clever, cool, and iconic.

Finding the Right Funny Cat Name for Your Feline

Choosing a name for your pet comes with a lot of responsibility. Surely nicknames will form along the way, but their given name will be one you use when introducing your cat to new people or making veterinarian appointments and is likely to be the one printed on the name tag dangling from their collar. Bottom line: It’s important.
