195+ White Cat Names: Great Ideas for Your Pristine Cat

White Cat Names

When we choose a name for our pets, we want a name that rings just right—a name that shows the pet’s personality.

White cats are especially unique. Their chilly white coat and striking cat eyes cause anyone to stop and stare. Choosing a basic name like “snowball” or “snowy” for your white cat is fine. Many pet owners name their animals based on the pet’s coat color.

But if you want to branch outside the norm, then look no further. We’re listing all kinds of white cat names to choose from, right down to the eye color.

How to Name Your White Cat

Pets often respond better to one- or two-syllable names instead of long names. Names with more than two syllables can turn into a tongue twister for you and become confusing for your pet.

However, we listed a few long names to cover all the bases.

Considering sex is the first step when selecting a name for your cat. You also want to examine your kitty’s personality and note any weird or cute quirks. Is your cat a chatterbox or a messy eater? Does he love playing in the litterbox? Think about these things when choosing a name.

You also want to recognize any physical traits your kitty has. Think about interesting color markings on his coat or the color of her eyes.

Lastly, think about what makes you smile. Why not name your cat something that brings you joy? After all, your pet should put a smile on your face.

With all those tips in mind, let’s dive into our list of white cat names!
