We follow several blogs that have pictures of beautiful kitties. The titles on the posts are kind of weird. Like, it will say “Fluffy Kitty” and show a Sphinx, or it will say “Black Cat” and show a striped orange kitty.
We started thinking about the names that cats actually have and decided to look up the most popular names. Then we discussed what we thought a cat with that name would look like. Our descriptions are not intended to portray anything negative about our perfect species. It is merely intended to give humans some guidance on what type of name fits what type of cat.
Here are the top 10 kitty names in the U.S:
Luna – We think this name belongs with an elegant cat. One who shows her superiority innately; she never needs to meow about it.
Bella – Another beautiful cat. She attracts beautiful cats around her.
Kitty – What can we say? There are really that many humans who can’t think of anything better when they name their fur babies?
Oliver – He is well-mannered and would never think of not sharing his prey with his hunting-deficient humans. He doesn’t want them to starve
Lucy – A fun, outgoing kitty. She likes to be with other cats and is playful with them and her humans.
Leo – Obviously, the king of all he surveys. He has a mane and a beautiful coat. He knows he’s superior and all humans are his minions.
Charlie – The male counterpart to Lucy. He’s good-natured and hard to rile. A cat who’s fun to be around.
Shadow – A dark-coated cat who slinks around. They can sneak up on their human out of nowhere and scare them silly. Exception: A small kitten who won’t ever leave her human’s side. These cats grow up to be excellent protection for their human from fish and chickens.
Simba – He’s a king, but with a playful side. He can charm his human so well that they’re his minion before they know it.
Milo – An intellectual cat. He will outsmart his human every time. But he’s lovable so they laugh about it.
Hopefully, you will show this information to your human for future reference.

I loved seeing these kitties! I am sorry that two of the pictures didn’t show however. The Cutest Paw and the Sophicated Cat. Dinnerbone? WOWSERS! Those cats we saw here are fitting their names right to the last fur! 🙂

Ooh sorry about the pictures. Wonder what happened. Thanks for the encouraging words.
I I love this!💕 but your right! That pic didn’t load for me either!😉 You certainly knows how to match your kitties and named!w😸🐾✨
Thank you!
Hmm! I never named a cat of mine any of these names! Don’t think I will!
I know of one cat named Oliver. I’m not sure who’s using the rest of these names. I agree that I wouldn’t use any of them
I don’t think the names are bad but I want a name less common. 😺
I think you are right on the money. We try to name our cats based on their personality. Chris is our only cat that we didn’t name. We actually changed his name to Rudy because he was rude but it didn’t stick. I guess because my son’s name is Chris too and they are both stubborn that it just seemed appropriate.
See. In this case, stubborn was better. Your son got a namesake. 🙂

My late boy was named Jelly Bean (I always spelled it 2 words) “Jelly” as we called him was white with 2 different colored eyes and everyone would think he was a girl! My late girl was named Sachiko, which means “Blissful Child” in Japanese, but I found it too exotic, so I changed her name to Chelsea. However, one of Chelsea’s nick-names was “Miss Sachiko”. 🙂 Finally, my girl now was called Casey at her foster home, but I re-named her Holly in honor of Buddy Holly, my favorite singer. Love this list, I’ve known cats with all these names except for Dinnerbone and Luna!
I still can’t believe someone would call their cat Dinnerbone.
That name is weird, it would be better for a dog. But I picture a dinosaur. 😀
I once had a ginger tabby I found at the local shelter. I took Lucy to the veterinarian’s to be spayed, a condition for adopting from the shelter, along with getting the standard shots.
When I handed Lucy to the technician, she said, “This is a neutered male…” Oops! The office clerk asked me at that moment what the cat’s name was, and I had to come up with something really fast. I said, “Louie”, since it sounded similar and honored Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, another favorite “Kool Kat”. LOL! (“Lucy” was chosen because of the cat’s hair color, you know, Lucille Ball.)
Louie lived up to his name, and is fondly remembered.
That’s funny. My parents got a kitten from some neighbors. The neighbors told them that the kitten was a boy. When they took “him” in to be neutered, they discovered that he was a she. Because they had gotten the kitten at 4 weeks, by the time they learned the gender it was too late to change Tigger’s name
LOL! Louie wasn’t the first neutered male I mistook for a female! It’s a bit embarrassing when you learn you can’t tell the difference.
It’s all that fur
They were both short-haired…!
I had a Lucy.I miss her.I used to say, Lucy, you have a lot of splainin to do. Thank you for the kind words you left on my blog for the loss of Polar Bear. XO

That’s good. A unique name for a unique kitty. Hope you don’t have to write that name often
All the kitties suit their names. I have a twofeet sister who’s name is Luna, she thinks just like the Luna kitty😸My name is Little Binky, they gave me my name because they thought I’m a cool cat lady, but everyone thinks I’m a male, I wonder what they were thinking😸Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞
Our boy cat is named Bluey yet he is ginger and white. He’s definitely more a Leo.
Hmm. Sounds like you might be humans who need this guide. Purrs, Snoops and Kommando Kitty
🥰🥰❤️
