What do Garfield, Simba, and Puss in Boots have in common? Well, they’re all cats in famous movies, after whom you may want to name your own precious feline!
Movie cat names are a more subtle way to do this and can also bring back good memories. These monikers are creative and make major talking points when you introduce your cat.
Key Things to Think About when Naming your Cat
Your Cat’s Appearance
The color of your cat or its markings can help you make a choice.
The Personality of your Cat
A great cat name may reflect your cat’s personality. Take a few days to observe your new kitty and see what it is like.
Your Cat’s Breed
Breeds can provide name ideas. How about Richard Parker for a Himalayan Cat?
Simba
Simba hints at your cat’s playful and openhearted nature since Simba befriends animals from all species and loves to run around with his friends.
Popular Movie Cat Names
Cheshire Cat
The cat with a huge grin that appears in Alice in Wonderland is another popular inspiration for names.
