Choosing the Best Black and White Cat Name

We get it. Your new bicolor cat is part of the family, and their name deserves to be special. Finding the perfect name doesn’t have to be difficult, though. Along with their patterned coat, consider your cat’s personality: a feisty Zorro or an elegant Tux? A sassy Stormy or a playful Marbles? The sky’s the limit.

Your interests and favorites play a part in pet naming, too. Cat lovers have chosen names of favorite foods (Oreo or Peppermint Patty, anyone?), book characters, colors, and musicians to name their new cat.

Yes, that means you can name your black and white cat after the Looney Toons character “Sylvester” if it makes you smile.

Trends in Black and White Cat Names

Many of the worlds all-time creative geniuses had black and white cats as pets. That fact alone says a lot of good things about you! Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Sir Isaac Newton were all known to have loved tuxies. In that spirit, why not consider naming your cat Maestro?

Due to the popularity of black and white cats, there have been many depictions of this fancy feline. Between Felix to Figaro, there will always be cartoon characters to name your black and white cat after. There are also many animals with these cats likeness as well. Panda, Orca, or even Pepe Le Pew are great names that can capture a black and white cat’s look and personality.

Throughout the years, people have loved naming their pets after pop-culture characters. For instance, during the height of the Twilight saga’s popularity, the name Bella surged in use for pets and people alike. We continue to hear cat names based on superheroes, TV characters, and musicians.

Keep it Simple

Whether you’re adopting an older cat or bringing home a brand new kitten, it’s important to not feel stressed about giving your cat a name. Your bicolor cat may have been briefly named by the shelter for adoption or named something else at one time, but it doesn’t fit their personality.

Either way, if your new family member needs a name, going with your gut is better than overthinking it. Pick something you enjoy saying.

In other words, have fun with it. Your black and white cat’s personality will shine through with any name you choose, from classic to unique. Finding the perfect name for your cat should be a wonderful bonding experience between you and your new feline best friend.

Need Cat Sitting?

Cats seem more independent than dogs, sure, but they need attention, play, and treats when you’re gone, too. Your great cat deserves great cat care. You’ve found the best cat name, so now it’s time to find them the perfect cat sitter.

Find your cat’s perfect match, right from your phone—and then hit the road happy.
