We offer many funny cat names along with over 2000 other cat names.

Remember that whatever name you choose, it will be your cat's name for life.

Just as you are making a life-long commitment to your new cat or kitten to take care of her to the best of your ability, you are also making a life-long commitment to the name. It isn't fair or useful to try to change your cat's name two years later when you stumble across another name that you just must use for someone.

And, even if you find that several months later, the name you've chosen just doesn't fit your cat, remember, to your cat it's just a neutral sound. It has no particular connotation or meaning, good or bad.

So it's best for your cat if you do not change her name mid-stream. This is another reason that it's best to keep the name your cat already has if you are adopting her from previous parents.

Cat names are easy enough for your cat to learn. The strategy is to get your cat to link pleasurable things with her name. For example, you can try these steps:

Spend quality time with your cat petting her while you gently, soothingly repeat her name over and over.

When you call your cat by her name, and she comes, give her a healthy treat. You can do this the first few times when she comes. Then only sporadically give her a treat. After a while you can taper off the treats and she will still come to you (probably-read the next section on training cats to come).

Use your cat's name when calling her to dinner.
These may sound like bribes, and if fact they are. In my personal experience with cats over many, many years, it seems that petting and repeating the name over and over works very well.

You can name a cat by its qualities or appearance, for example, a speedy cat could be called "Speedy", or a furry cat could be called "Fluffy". For more exotic names, try translating words that describe your cat into other languages.
Consider choosing a name that is short, of one syllable. For example: Sam, Socks, Scout, Peach. Two syllable name examples: Tony, Daisy, Lonnie, PJ. Cats have extremely sensitive hearing and they pick up your voice and tone quick enough to respond to the shortest names. (A name you can say quickly is also important for when you need to tell your cat to stop doing something.)
Bonus to above tip is that when you want to have an identification tag made with your cat's name on it, a short name will fit easily.
If possible, add an "S" to the name. Many cats like the sound of an "S" and will be more likely to get used to their name if it has a sound they prefer.
Always relate your cat's name to positive behavior which encourages him or her to respond willingly when called by name.
Do not use her name when discouraging bad behaviors. He or she will associate his or her name with a negative thought, feeling and action and not want to hear it again.
