Tips for choosing a gray cat name

If you’re lucky enough to have a pretty gray kitty in your life, it makes sense that you'd want to choose a name that compliments (and even makes reference to) their sleek, silvery appearance. 

When looking for cat name ideas, many pet parents tell us that it took getting to know their gray kitten first before they finally settled upon the right name. So, if it’s Day 1 and you’re still scratching your chin wondering what to name your new kit, don’t panic!

Get to know your cat's personality - are they energetic and playful? Calm and confident? Are they a Serious Sally, or a total goofball? Do they sleep all day long, or do they have a favourite snack that could perhaps inspire their new name? 

Your pal’s cat breed can also be a great source of naming inspiration, too. For example, Mishka or Igor could be perfect names for your purrfect Russian Blue. Likewise, if you have rescue cats, why not make reference to their new start in life? We love the names Chance or Lucky!

Once you have a list of names, it’s worth testing out any that you think could suit your kitty-kat. You’ll soon notice that some just roll off the tongue, while others may not feel quite right. And who knows? Your feline friend may even throw you a cheeky wink when you finally utter that perfect name!

Did your silvery sweetheart's name make our list? Do you have a name that isn’t on our list, but definitely should be? Share your kitty naming tips and discuss all things ‘feline’ over on our Community Forum!
