Funny cat names can come from unexpected sources. It’s all about creativity! We’ve sourced ideas from our favourite foods, animals, and the hit Broadway musical, CATS. We’ve even included a personalized name generator (which is super fun to play around with!)

Funny cat names, a la carte

Here’s how it works: choose any cat name, then choose a prefix and/or suffix to complement it.  For example—”Professor Periwinkle Picante”, or “Madame Kiki La Rue”, or “Lil Noodle-tastrophy”. You get the idea.

Prefixes

  • Her/His Majesty
  • Her/His Honour
  • Professor
  • Sir
  • Madame
  • Dr.
  • Grandma/Grandpa
  • Lil
  • Big
  • Colonel
  • Dame
  • People’s Artist
  • Senator

Suffixes

  • -tastic
  • -licious
  • -ette
  • -ster
  • -zilla
  • -meister
  • -banana
  • -man
  • -dude
  • -dawg
  • -bee
  • -boo
  • -bear
  • -tastrophy (chaos)
  • -stravaganza (luxurious or eccentric)
  • -oid (resembling)
  • -esque (resembling)
  • picante (spicy)
  • con queso (with cheese)
  • a la mode (in fashion, or with ice cream)
  • au gratin (baked with cheese & breadcrumbs)
  • la rue (from the street)

It’s all about personality

Of course, opinions vary on what qualifies as “funny,” so different names will appeal to different people.  Some folks will chuckle at a cutesy “Penny Lane,” while others will be drawn to something more unconventional like “Professor Purple Meister.” There’s no right or wrong way to name your cat. When you find something that makes you smile and captures that special something about your cat, add it to your list.

Your cat’s name can also be an expression of your personality and interests. Consider your favourite characters, movies, musicians, travel destinations, hobbies and more—once, you start brainstorming ideas, it can be hard to stop!

Another thing to consider is your cat’s personality. You can usually tell right away if a kitten is going to be a boisterous goofball or a bashful wallflower. Pick a name that reflects his individuality to show your affection for your special pet.

Naming your cat is only the beginning of your journey together!  So have fun, use your imagination, and be sure to take a look at Rover’s other pet name articles for more ideas.

Need cat-sitting?

Cats may seem more independent than dogs, but they still need attention, play, and treats when you’re gone. Your fabulous cat deserves fabulous care—so find the perfect cat sitter with Rover.

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