How to Name Your Cat
When it comes to naming your cat, there are no hard-and-fast rules, leaving you with endless options, from simply weird to hilarious. Keep in mind, however, that you’ll be repeating this name for a decade or more, so it should be something that rolls easily off the tongue. Also, you’ll be sharing this name with your family, friends, and your local vet, so it makes sense not to pick a name that’s too out there.
Your cat’s personality and physical appearance are ideal for helping you choose a name, and beyond common names like Molly or Fluffy, there are plenty of other names that can express the unique character of your feline.
