Tips for Naming Your Cat

When choosing a name, you can consider more than just your big cat’s size. Think about your cat’s color, sex, and personality to help narrow down your name selection. For instance, Garfield—the fat, lazy, lasagna-loving comic strip star—is a great choice for an oversized orange tabby cat. Have a large, shaggy, brown cat, perhaps with a glorious ruff of fur around their neck? You could find the perfect fit with a name like Mammoth, Moose, or Bear.

With so many possibilities for big cat names, it can be fun to try a few on for size to see how they work for your large cat or kitten. Whether your cat is pleasantly plump or just a behemoth feline specimen, enjoy your search for the perfect name for your supersized feline friend.
