Naming your cat can sometimes be easy, but other times, it can be a challenge. After all, you will potentially have your cat for a couple of decades, and you want something that suits them.
If you have an appreciation for the letter T or just want your cat to have a name that will go oh-so-perfectly with your last name, check out the following lists!
We hope that you find the best name for your cat somewhere on here—and that you won’t get too tired of the letter T!
How to Name Your Cat
Before we get into everything T, there are a few ideas and tips for you to consider when trying to come up with a name for your cat.
Take your cat’s appearance, for example. Consider the pattern and/or color of their coat. Is your cat large or teensy? These elements can make for a cute or funny name. You can also go ironic, such as calling your big cat Tiny (a name that starts with T!).
You can also look at a few of your favorite celebrities, be they actors, writers, or musicians, or even consider characters from your favorite movies, books, or TV shows.
Think about your cat’s unique personality. Some cats are laidback, while others are little balls of energy. If you are familiar with the Looney Toons, Taz would be a good name!

Kathryn was a librarian in a previous lifetime and is currently a pet writer. When she was a child, she hoped to work in ZOOs or with wildlife in some way, thanks to her all-consuming love for animals. Sadly, she's not strong in the sciences, so she fills her days with researching and writing about all kinds of animals and spends time playing with her adorable but very naughty tabby cat, Bella. Kathryn is hoping to add to her family in the near future – maybe another cat and a dog.
