How to Name Your Tiny Cat

You may want a very common name for your cat, like “Luna” or “Max,” or you may want a cool, unique name. There are many different options to name your cat, so be sure to think about what kind of name you’d like your new cat to have.

Do you want to name your cat after some great characters? Do you want a name that fits their personality perfectly? The possibilities are endless. You could start by picking a specific letter you’d like your cat’s name to start with. Perhaps something common like an A or C, or maybe even an uncommon Y or Z name.

The name you choose will be your cat’s name for the rest of their life, so make sure it’s a suitable one. Tiny cats can be very speedy and rowdy cats, or they can be cute and cuddly. Your cat could look like a tiny puffball, or maybe they look scruffy. The name you choose could depend on many, many different factors.
