Hello all,

I'm getting a new cat and have no idea what to name it! It's a black male. Do you have an idea for my cat ?

Thanks in advance.

If you google 'cat names' you will find a few sites of lists of names. In my experience, after you have had a cat for a few days, a name will suggest itself, depending on the cat's personality, looks etc.

I'm a firm believer that the cat will tell you it's name. I would get a list of names you like and after you've had the little guy around for a few days you'll have a better idea of which one fits.
Congrats on your new arrival

It took us all of two hours to come up with a name to name Jazz. But just taking a couple hours to watch him and interact with him, Jazz fits him perfectly. Good luck with a name and your new family member.

If I have a black male cat, I would name him Knight Ryder ...

We wait till our masters have told us their name, although the 1st two were computer names also.

Shadow Ram (long hair black master)
Laptop (he used to love to sit on laps as a kitten)
Tigger (he has tigger stripes)
Sterling (long silver hair)
Charlie (has a Charlie Chaplin mustache)

I'm sure you'll find the perfect name -- Salem seems pretty popular for black cats .
