How to Pick the Right Boy Cat Name

Say the name out loud a few times before you settle on it. A good cat name should feel easy to call across the room, especially when he is under the couch pretending not to hear you.

Match the name to something real about him if you can. A lazy orange cat might suit Nacho, a sleek black cat might fit Salem, and a dramatic little kitten may absolutely deserve a name like King or Loki.

Short names are often easier for cats to recognize, especially one or two syllables. Milo, Leo, Max, Finn, and Gus all have that quick, clear sound. Longer names can still work, though, especially if they have an easy nickname.

Most of all, pick the name you will enjoy saying every day. Cats have a funny way of growing into their names, even the ridiculous ones.
