How to choose a cat name

• What are your interests? If you’ve got a particular hobby or interest, there’s a cat name in it! If it’s football, research players you like the sound of. If it’s literature, what about a name from your favorite book? And if cooking is your pastime, ingredients can make great cat names (miso and peanut, we’re looking at you!).
• What does your kitty look like? Does your new fluffy buddy have a defining feature like brightly-coloured fur, white socks, a multi-colored tail or patches across their face? Or maybe they’re particularly fluffy, or gaze at you with piercing blue eyes. Either way, there’s a name in it!
• What’s their personality like? If your kitty is particularly cheeky, sassy or cuddly, there’s a name in that, too.
• When were they born? The seasons are full of inspiration, so if you’re not convinced by a defining feature or personality trait, dive into all things spring, summer, fall or winter to name your new furry best friend.
