Naming your furry friend can be difficult, especially if you want to make a statement about your cat and yourself. I know when I began naming my animals, it was impossible to know what others would be naming their felines as well! After years of cat-owning and helping friends name their pets, I feel confident to compile a list of 100 unique names for that loving fuzz ball known as your best friend!
Why not name your cat after your favorite food or one that reminds you of them!? Most of the time, the sweet kitten faces are sweet enough to eat anyway!
