I adopted two kittens when they were three and five months old their names are chaos and calamity, no more Explanation required 🤣 and I love every little tiny piece of fur on them ❤️

I always name my cats human names. Here are just a few: I have Toby now. I’ve had a Charley, Zachary, Jack, Buddy, Leo, Alex (a girl), Rene (another girl). My sister names hers human names too. She has Bella, Rudy & Kelly right now. In the past, she has had: William, Harry (yes, names after Diana’s boy’s) Siobhan, Timothy, Baby Jack and more.

I have had four cats in my lifetime. the oldest was named Julius Caesar (after the Julius Caesar) but we called him Ceasar. he was an American Shorthair and he was a black and white tom who was the man of the house, even though my dad was still there… he passed away 2 years ago, he was 13.
the next is Isabella, named after Queen Isabella. we call her Bella, and she is a calico. she is an American Shorthair too she is the alpha kitty and the kitty mama. she has looked over me and my siblings since we were babies. she is 15 now.
the next is Octavio, named after the Roman general Gaius Octavius. he is a black cat, a Bombay and my tubby tub tubs, which means he’s a fat cat, at a whopping 25 pounds. he is a softie and is the baby of the family. loves to cuddle. he is 5.
the last one is fiesty Victoria, named after Queen Victoria. she is a little Chartreux, with bluish gray hair, and she is a mean cat, like she trys to bully Octavio, but kitty mama Bella saves the day. she is also 5.

my cats names are Chance,Baby,Pebbles,Calie and Marven

Have named over 30 cats, but two favorites are Tortellini, a tortiseshell of course, and Sahara, the palest ginger I had even see that reminded me of desert sand.

My orange tabby is part bobcat and is named after Alien (1979 movie) herocat and one of only two survivors, Jones (aka Jonesy.)

Had a simees who piper put a litter.
Notorious- he is the white plump of the group, thug life was his motto.
Luna- she is timid and a loner. (Renamed Muffin by new owners, personally think it’s a downgrade name)
Screech- he was the scrawny runt who has wired and liked to sing. (New owners renamed him Sherlock, it sorta fits his personality)

And my last two favs popped out black for some reason. (No clue who the father was) we decided to keep these ones:
Zoe – the princess she was
Galaxia- has a little white galaxy shape on her tummy and some shooting stars on her lower backside.

We have a polydactyl tuxedo cat named Jane K. Meowling, my husband and I compromised between Jane Pawston and JK Meowling. She’s a sweet kitty. :)

Dumpling got his name because he was a dumped kitten I found in some bushes…plus I’d just had Chinese food that day!!

Tess. Teardrop Tess because she has a teardrop mark on her left eye.

Ohmigoodness. Working backwards;
current cat is 18 years old, rescued from under the deck, named Velcro bc he wouldn’t let go of anything.
Huge silver grey tom named Smaug.
Ginger tom, more blonde than orange named marmalade bc of color and super sweet personality. Frequently called marmaduuuude bc he really is blonde.
Little black bobtail named Lilith – she really is satan’s daughter.
Siamese brother and sister adopted at 10 yrs old after owner had to give them up. We renamed brother Lummox because of his size. Sister stayed Sissy.
Siamese tom named Buddha bc of his little round tummy and silly grin. At vet’s recommendation, bought tiny female companion for him. She was 5 lbs to his 16, ruled him with an iron paw,headed for the heights when upset, earned the name Dragon Lady (from Terry and the pirates ).
Beautiful Persian registered name Lady Mariko Rose, affectionately called PJ because she looked like she still had her jammies on.
And besides them were :
Solomon – siamese tom
China – siamese mama
Imp – black female bobtail
Gravy – grey tabby tom
Darcy – dark grey tabby girl
Lacy – light grey tabby girl with beautiful white edges on her ears
Etta James – little solid grey girl who sings (talks) a lot

I just adopted Charlie who is a 15 year old hray abasynian and he’s beautiful

I have a lot of cats in my house. And my favourite cat’s name are chila, Ello,uchu, and pinky.

Tega, Ms. Daisy, Mario and Luigi.

I have Akira, (Kiri) tortie, & Purrin, golden tabby.

I adopted my current pair of cats when they were adults, so they came with their names: Fritz and Shelby.

Before them, I had a bonded pair of siblings called Bagheera and Grizabella. Bagheera was large and solid black with yellow eyes. It seemed fitting to name him after the black panther in “The Jungle Books.” Grizabella was a small dilute tortoiseshell, and I named her after the character in “Cats” who sang “Memories.”

When I was growing up, we had a cat called Mr. Bartlett. The name was partly a joke, for he’d been named after a friend of the family who hated cats. Mr. Bartlett also had a tuxedo pattern with four white paws and a white front, so he had to have a name with “Mr.” in it, given his formal appearance. Much to everyone’s surprise, he turned out to have Siamese ancestry. The vet proclaimed him a Siamese mix after hearing him yowl.

I name my female cats for goddesses (because cats were once worshipped as gods and haven’t forgotten), so I have had: Brighid, Athena, Isis, Nephthys, and Rhiannon. My son established naming males for composers, so we have: Igor Stravinskitty and Andrew"Drew" Lloyd Whiskers. Potential future names include Purrsephone and Moddest “Moddy” Mewsorgski.

My cat is some sort of a Siamese so on her ears it looked like a mist over her head and she had the prettiest blue eyes so she became Misty Blue my precious baby.

When I took my cat to my house, I put her into a paper box and put the box on my motorbike. It was rainning so heavy, she was very calm eventhough she was only 2 months. The box was wet and when my mother openned, first thing we saw was big blue eyes. The most beautiful eyes we’ve seen. So I named my cat Kim Tae Hee, a very pretty korean actress. But actually We often call her “nguoi dep”- it means Bella in English.

I had to laugh when I read the list of common boy cat names. A friend I had back right after college had 3 male cats named Charlie, Max and Oscar – all on the list! I guess she wasn’t very creative in her naming. There is a male cat in the house now that belongs to my housemate named Gus, not a super unusual name but he has unusual coloring. He is a gray tabby with an undercoat of a golden color.

I have had cats named Sassy and Pandora back when I was growing up but I didn’t come up with their names, just agreed on them. My first cat as an adult was a beautiful dark calico named Mollly who lived to a day before her 16th birthday. Not a creative name but it fit her perfectly.

I share a house so I live with my housemate’s cats as well. She had Suki, a black Maine Coon and Tess Marie, another dark calico. Tess started as my cat and was named by my little girls (Tess – not sure why and Marie – from the Aristokats movie) but then adopted my housemate. Tess and Suki have gone to the rainbow bridge after long lives. She now has Gus (August) mentioned above and Maddi (Madeleine) – after the mischievous little French girl. Maddi is a tiny little tuxedo at 7 lbs and her “brother” Gus is 14 lbs. Yet, she is 100% the boss.

My cat right now is 16 year old Season who was named by my Amy when she was 5. I don’t know where she came up with the name but it stuck. Only pet named Season I had ever heard of until 2 years ago we saw it on one of those things you can buy for charity for $1 at the register at Petco and write your pet’s name on it and they put it up on the wall. However by then my Season’s name and picture had been all over our area in contests and stuff so we figured they copied us. Who knows? Personality wise, our Season will always be one of a kind.

Both Hernán and Rocío are simply two of my favorite names in Spanish (I’m Argentinian). But the last kitten whom we welcomed home was named David after singer David Mustaine – both are red haired, you know! 😁

I have a lovely smoke grey short hair who is what as known as a "failed foster’. She started out s a foster kitten named Suzie but after she decided this was going to be her home I renamed her Lily but because she had long legs and I always recalled the scene in Cat Balou of the bad guy with the dance hall girl saying to her "Oh Lily – long legs Lily:. She now runs the house and is a total Diva and goes by Lily or LiLi Belle

So the very first cat I owned was named after one of my favorite tv cats The cat from Hocus Pocus , Binx. Then, I happens upon 3 homeless kittens and had to take them in again named them after cats from movies only this time they were big cats. Sangha and Koumal the twin tigers from Two Brothers and the tiger Raja from Aladdin. Then we adopted a 26lb cat and named him Sir Chunk A-lot. Then we had an orange kitten we rejoined from a friend who had named the cat after Oberon alcohol we didn’t like that so we renamed him Opie after The Andy Griffith show. And about 6 weeks ago we got two new kittens and named him Ares after the God of War which fits him perfectly because he is always picking fights with his sister Kamilah the Arabic word for perfect. As you can see I don’t care for common names for my cats or dogs for the matter. My last three Dogs have been Legend McDuff, Fable, and Aela the Huntress Rue.

Named my brown tabby Jenny of the block, because she always is roaming around. I also have Thumper, Maine coon/manx because when he takes off running he looks like a rabbit hopping.

- Gus (fat crosseyed Siamese mix rescue named after the fat mouse in Cinderella)
- Cutie Raven Macaroni (named by a three year old bc a) the cat is cute, b) favorite teen totem character is raven and c) macaroni and cheese is his favorite food
- Lily Tiger Cloud (named by same child bc she looks like a tiger and her feet are white like clouds)
- Mr. Cuddles SIr Kittenpants Hershey (bc said child believes all animals require three names and the cat a) likes to cuddle, b) was a kitten and c) is black and the color of Hershey’s chocolate apparently)

My cat’s name is April. She’s an all black and they sometimes have a bad reputation, but she’s a sweetheart. She’s named after April from Parks and Recreation, she may be black on the outside but she’s a softie on the inside.

Baccardi (with an extra “C” for for cuteness) because I told my kids if they bring home one more cat I was going to start drinking! LOL!

I’ve been a fan of the Jackson 5 since I was a girl. I got my cat the night I learned of Michael Jackson’s passing and thought Blanket was a perfect name for her. She now has her own Instagram page @blanketthecat and her name suits her to a tee!

My daughter is very ticklish. On our way home with our new little kitten, he was rubbing against her and she said to me: “he’s ticking me!” – so we aptly named him Tickles (The Greatest Tiger in the World).

Love the Britcom “Keeping Up Appearances” so I already had an Onslow, who is a 26 pound chocolate brown lazy butt, and I needed a Daisy, of course. My friend’s cat was having kittens and I told her the first solid color kitten would be mine. Yup, first-born was solid white. But he turned out to be male! Didn’t matter. I named him Daisy anyway. He’s been a delight for nearly fifteen years. Oh, and he turned out to be a Siamese mix.
