Unique Cat Names

Unique Cat Names

When it comes to naming a new cat, most people want to avoid the totally overdone Spots, Boots, Socks and Figaros.  Finding a unique cat name can be very difficult, though.  I really have trouble naming anything until I have had a chance to get to know its personality, and even then, it can be hard to avoid the cliché names.  They’re cliché names for a reason!

There are several websites dedicated to helping you find the best name for your new pet cat.  You can search names, browse through lists of names, and even sort them by popularity and ratings.  If you do a Google search for “unique cat names”, you will find more than two million results and more names than you can shake a catnip-coated stick at.

You don’t have to choose a name that is a name, you know.  You can also go by personality traits, such as Brat, color, such as Ebony, or something totally random like one I found on catnamesmeow.com, Frank Toffee Pops.   Personally, I prefer British butler names.  Take Seymour, for example.  He was my favorite cat and has been difficult to replace.  Later, I had Dapper Dan, who was just so smooth and polished, and then there was Rufus and his brother Wifey, so named because he liked to nag.

When you are looking for unique cat names, choose something that has some meaning to you.  What if you found your cat in a woodpile?  He could be Woodpile Henry.  The most unique names will be ones that have a meaning for you and most closely match who your cat really is.
