Advice on choosing a cool cat name

There was a time when cat names were more straightforward and nonspecific. And while there’s no harm in going with a more classic choice like “Princess” or “Muffin,” today’s cat owners are finding name inspiration in some of the most unlikely places. With nods to pop culture, history, and even food, unique cat names are gaining traction in Canada—a trend we can definitely get behind!

To brainstorm unique names for your cat, first consider their personality. Are they a spirited Keiko or a refined Rupert? What about a chic London or a sweet Sparrow? Think about your cat’s habits and general disposition, and you’ll be on your way to a great name.

Cat owners nationwide are also turning to their own interests and hobbies for naming inspiration. Think about your favourite foods, characters, colours, and musicians to find the perfect cat name. Yes, that means that everything from Dorian Gray to Zelda is on the table. 

We’re also seeing more and more human names, like Frankie or Sophia, replacing traditional kitten names, like Mittens or Fluffy. Hipster baby names are growing in popularity too, with trendy pet owners picking unique monikers like Harper, Byron, and Nico.

If you need more ideas, check out one of our pet name articles. We’ve collected names in every category imaginable, from quirky to cute, and everything in between.

You know your cat better than anyone else. So get those creative juices flowing, and give your special kitty a name that’s as remarkable as she is!

Need Cat Sitting?

Cats may seem more independent than dogs, but they still need attention, play, and treats when you’re gone. Your new kitty deserves the best care—and nothing less. You’ve found the perfect cool cat name (hopefully), so now it’s time to find the perfect cat sitter.

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