What is the best cat name you’ve ever heard?


  1. My friend works at a vet clinic and received a cat whose name was “Karen from Accounting”.

  2. Church Lady. She is a very nosy cat and they named her Church Lady.

  3. Ichabod. Cats should have long, somewhat preposterous human names.

  4. My parents had a cat named Peter but when I saw it written, it was spelled Peidar. My Portuguese dad never told my Irish mom that it means fart in Portuguese and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know to this day.

  8. We found a newborn black cat in a box on the side of the road when I was about 5. I named him Samuel L. Catson and we ended up keeping him because by the time he was old enough for the SPCA to take him, we had become so attached to him. He ended up living 18 years, and died about a year and a half ago.

  11. My boyfriends cat is called [Hammie](https://i.imgur.com/1NGsnOb.jpg) Because when their original cat gave birth "Hammie" was the first one to leave the nest and at a few weeks old decided the best course of action was to somehow make his way INTO the fridge and steal ham His nickname is also Chairman Meow because he's a very serious boy who holds a lot of meetings in his fluffy lil suit

  12. My childhood cat’s name was Sam Kitty. I’ve always liked that name. After he died we got another cat and my little brother named him Kai Cocofang whatever the hell that means. Edit: also I’d like to add that my grandma has a horribly overweight cat named Toby, and I like to call him Tobesity. So if your kitten is fat, there you go.

  13. I named the stray I found at my old apartment Danby after the refrigerator. “He came with the apartment and I put food in him.” But that name didn’t suit him because it sounds a bit fancy and he was a streetwise tomcat used to kickin the back alley scene. I decided his full name was Chuck Danby. He has a whole backstory. He’s divorced. He had to sell his corvette for alimony. We moved in together to save costs. He’s been my pal for 18 years and counting. EDIT: Here is a picture of Mr Chuck Danby. He is on the right. It’s hard to get a good picture of a black cat, but this is mostly what he does these days. It’s fine because he is retired and has a pension from a government job. https://imgur.com/gallery/wCejG

  14. Mr. Mephistopheles was the best cat I ever had , he was a monster sized cat, he weighed as much as a medium sized dog and he did not have a gram of fat on him , he also was covered in scars and only had one eye , and all the dogs in town were frightened of him. He also caught a duck when there was a flood in town.
