How to Choose a Cat Name
Pick a name you can say easily in a normal voice and a softer calling voice. Short names with clear sounds are easiest to use every day, but a longer name can work if the nickname is simple. Match the name to your cat's coat, face, habits, or personality, then say it out loud several times. Avoid names that sound too close to another pet or family member. If you are naming a kitten, choose something that will still fit when the cat is older, calmer, bigger, or more opinionated.
