Cat Names

 After selecting what type of cat / kitten to purchase, its time for the next biggest challenge - coming up with a name.

Certain cat names lend themselves to certain breeds and the markings on many kittens can also make your life a bit easier, such as if the kitten is all one colour except for his/her paws. Here you could give your new cat a name like 'socks' or 'paws' or 'claws' or something similar.

It is important to invlove the whole family when choosing your cats name as each of you will have to be shouting it out at some point. There are many helpful ideas around - just broaden your horizons. Think about a favourite celebrity, place name, song title, drink, meal, car, piece of furniture, football teams nickname or stadium, brand or business name. As well as that you have always got the more run of the mill cat names such as 'tiger' or simply 'Puss'. Selecting a name for your cat is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable exercise and it is important not to get too carried away.

The most important thing to remember when choosing a name for your cat is that on many occasion YOU are going to be the one standing outside shouting it at the top of your voice. It is at this point when such names as 'snuggle puss' or 'fairy cakes' can seem a very odd choice indeed !
