We do not agree with naming your cats after your previous or past-favorite pet’s name. Unless it is a cover-up, we recommend alleviating the cat’s pressures of living up to a past animal and giving them a unique cat name. This will make for a happy kitty.

Another important tip that should not be overlooked when naming your cat is to avoid naming it after your current love. Whatever the case, if the relationship does not last, it may result in resentment towards the cat. Even if you decide to rename the cat, the original cat name will be still loom upon you.

As with people, there are distinguishable male cat names and female cat names. There are, as well, androgynous names that can be given to either male or female cats. An owner’s first step should be to decide whether or not they want to stick with a gender-specific name.

If you decide to stick with male cats names, be sure to check out our page on male cat names. You will find information and advice for naming your male cats; in addition to male name stories. Female cat names are very special to us at Unusual Pet Names as we are the proud owners of the best female cat named Vivien. Read more about female cat names and their stories.
