The Cat Name Thread

It is a new year so it means we can use up all our cat names again at the shelter (our accounting system only lets us use names one per year) so if you have any good cat names that aren't the usual ones (Fluffy, Princess etc) I would love to have them. We especially need names for groups of kittens, we always put them in a theme so we know which kittens belong to which litter when we have lots of kittens in summer.

They can be your cats' names or just ones you think are cute/interesting

I do not think there are to many cats named Meeko.
I call my Oreo Cookie Monster.
Coco,Cleopatra and Sasha I think are to common for you to use.
You can name one Yoshi.

My five are

Zoey - common but not everyday

Dahlia Moria - Um this took work

Sylvester Wylie

Punky Monkey Brewster

Pajama Bottoms - DID Not name him

how about naming them after stars (in the sky i mean) there are some not so great ones, but if you google "names of stars" there are tons, some are quite pretty names?

just a thought.

Alhena
Alifa
Atlas
Bellatrix
Capella
Electra
Jabbah
Merak (also the name or a classic supercar!)
Mira
Nashira
Polaris
Rana
Talitha
Zania

im sure there cant be many called any of those? and there are tons more?

You can go a bit oddball and call one Peedoodle. That is a great conversation starter.

Corduroy, polyester, cashmere, woolly, merino

My husband was in the Navy for 20 years, so our boys are named for admirals - Halsey and Chester. Halsey's twin in Molly and the other girls are Gracie, Teresa and Josephine.
