How to Name Your Cat

While you may have a large cat that is begging for a name to encapsulate its physique, that’s not the only thing you want to focus on. Their gender and personality can both play a role in which name you choose.

One thing that we do recommend is to pick a name that is relatively easy to say. Simple names keep you from stumbling over your words when talking to them. Plus, it makes it easier for them to understand.
