My cat is beautiful. Wonderful company and great fun.
He has been with our family for six years. Welcomed a new little human sister into the home, and happily tolerated our many other pets.
But he’s not going to win a Nobel prize any time soon.
When he is not trying to eat hot mushrooms straight out the wok, you can normally find him forgetting how to work the cat flap.
Or getting stuck on the flat roof for the billionth time. Despite the open window right next to him, and relatively short jump to the ground.
But I’ll bet that your new kitty will have considerably more smarts.
Is your cat a budding genius?
Are you fairly sure that before long she won’t just be playing poker, but counting cards as well?
Whether your clever cat names will be ironic or realistic, they are great fun to find.
And my admittedly rather geeky heart has loved putting together this list for you.
But before we dive into the wonderful ways to come up with clever cat names, let’s just hae a quick think about naming your new kitty.
