It can be hard to choose a name for your new kitten. Many people go for something that references their cat’s appearance or their personality.
Movie cat names are a more subtle way to do this and can also bring back good memories.
Tigger
If you grew up with Winnie the Pooh, then you may want to name your kitty cat after Pooh’s friend, Tigger. The tiger is full of fun and energy and is a loyal companion.
Master Tigress
Master Tigress is the tiger voiced by Angelina Jolie in Kung Fu Panda. One of the Famous Five, she’s full of confidence, believing that she is the only one who can defeat Tai Lung.
Cat
‘Cat’ is what Holly (Audrey Hepburn) calls the ginger stray she adopts. She refuses to name and fully accept the cat until the end when, in an unforgettable scene, Holly and her love interest run after him in the rain.
Shere Khan
Is your furbaby a bit of a rule-breaker? Or perhaps a serial hunter? Shere Khan is the ruthless King of the Jungle in The Jungle Book who vows to kill Mowgli.
Puss in Boots
This name is for a cat with a tough exterior who’s not afraid to turn up the wide-eyed cuteness when he wants something.
Richard Parker
If your cat is entirely in touch with his wild instincts yet companionable, try calling him ‘Richard Parker’. This is the tiger in Life of Pi who is stranded on a lifeboat with Pi.
