The Best Cat Names Ever

my lil boy named Lazy coz he is a lazy cat..

lazy is being lazy xD

When my parents were first married they got a black Persian kitten that they named “Stition” because she really wasn’t “Super” . . . .

I’m glad this post got resurrected as I’ve had a fun time reading. We had a cat named Cactus. She had apparently been left by the past renters. We had the hardest time coming up with a name for her as nothing seemed to fit (think weeks). One day I referred to her as a prickly cat as she didn’t like to sit on my lap and be petted for more than an instant. Then the word cactus (we used to live in the desert) came up, and since she also had green eyes, it stuck.

We wanted a long name for Shadow, but none of them seemed to fit his personality and small stature. Once I called him my little shadow since he followed us all over the house. Just as my husband said that might be a good name, Shadow started playing with his shadow on the tile floor. So of course it was perfect.

I have a coworker who told me he has a food theme going, and his two cats are Turnip and Pistachio.

Velvet’s name was due to her velvet-like short black coat, like the finest velvet. Spice was named due to her spunky, off-like-a-jet speed and her love of playing. I almost named her Salsa.

Growing up on a farm with lots of cats coming and going, I gave them all various names. As an adult, though, the strangest name I’ve given a cat was Strange. She was a stray who hung around our house when my son and I moved to Iowa. I would tell him that a strange cat was hanging around again. “There’s that strange cat.” And from that her name became Strange.

Our kitties have cool names, I think. We even name the babies, because they need to have identities. LOL!

Right now in our house we have:

Edward Kitty – named for Iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie

Chicken – named so by my daughter because she is her “little chicken”

Lucy – Named for Lucille Ball

Seamus – Our randy Irish boy

Midnight – our rescue kitty….we did not name her!

Morrigan Rose – Celtic Goddess of War

Fea Marie – Celtic Goddess of War’s sidekick

George Tiberious – 8 weeks old and named by my grnadson

Bailey Grey – 8 weeks old and ironically, gray in color

Isabelle Dumpling – 8 weeks old and given Dumpling because her mother’s name is Chicken…LOL

Elliot Munch – 5 weeks old and named for Law and Order SVU

Olivia Finn – 5 weeks old…also named for Law and Order SVU

The 4 tiny ones are Eenie, Meanie, Miney, and Moe for now.

I have a friend who named their cat ‘Mugshot’—she said that her kitty looked so pathetic in her cage at the SPCA and kept tilting her head behind the bars. She and her husband both thought it looked like she was lining up for her mugshot. . . 🙂

I have had MANY cats over my life time and fear I would be here all day if I named them all . lol . My most recent’s were Amelia May , which was named after Amelia Airheart , but when she was a kitten , she used to literally fly across the kitchen from the top of the cabinets . lol . I had her 11 years and about 4 months ago , she went out to go potty and never returned . I still cry over my sweet Milla May (that was her ”love name” all my babies have them) . That cat got me through one of the hardest times in my life and she’s prob the only reason Im alive today , I miss her very , very dearly . And my LuLu May (May after , Amelia May) . My sweet Lula May . I recived a call one morning from my mother in law , saying her coworker had what they thought was a 2 week old kitten and she needed a mommy . So , I went to pick her up (without telling my hubby , bc he said ”NO MORE ANIMALS” when I got my python . lol) , and found that she was only about 4 days old . I named her LuLu , b4 I even got home with her , bc it just seemed so perfect . She’s 8 weeks old Sunday and I hope to have her for many , many years to come 🙂
