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!
