Funny Cat Names

funny cat names

Naming your new kitty may be no joke, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have some laughs along the way. Funny cat names are great for playful kittens or owners with a sense of humor. If you like to look on the comical side of life, we’ve got some fun cat names that will make you smile. From the zany to the outrageous, we will give you lists full of ideas, and even help you to create your own silly cat names too.

Contents

  • Funny female and male cat names
  • Names that are a play on words
  • Amusing ideas by color and pattern
  • Funny Siamese cat names
  • Punny Persian cat names

When it comes to Felis Catus (your moggie’s scientific name!) your cat likely has more than one name. If he has nine lives, it stands to reason that he should have at least as many names, right? Cats were domesticated over 5,000 years ago and were considered sacred to the ancient civilizations in Egypt and China. But there’s no reason their name should be serious!

Extravagantly fun cat names

Long and pompous names can be very amusing. Try these for size.

  • Fortesque

    Our polydactyl cat is named Min Nah Min Nah (Sesame St), we call him Nah Nah. I have a black cat named Black Cat. A very nervous cat named Fraidy. A part Maine Coon named Baby Huey. She was twice the size of her litter mates. She’s a cat and doesn’t care she has a male name.

      I had a litter of Siamese kittens that needed names. Mom was Ming Ming and the sister was Mei Mei (means Sister!) I lived it. I has a Siamese cat that lives outside. His name is Chandler Bing but I call him Chan Bing for short. Sounds Asian right?

    Had a cat years ago with extra toes so he was named Toomany. When asked to accept other pets we said, “Sorry, but we already have Toomany.” It worked.

    I have a cat with 8 toes on each front foot. His name, of course, is Sasquatch. Another is named Nuisance. (And, boy, is she named well!) The one who won’t shut up (since I got her at 6 weeks) is Singer. The kitten who investigated a dust bunny under the dresser for ten minutes, then sat on my foot and told me about it for another ten minutes was Socrates, and the one who was –um, blessed?–with the ugliest marking I’ve ever seen was Grendalyn. (From Grendal, the monster in Beowulf. But since it was a female…) Her brother was Gremlin. I had a classic orange tabby named MacGyver–he got the bathroom door open in less than a minute, then race down the hall and grabbed for the Swiss Army knife on a string over the doorknob.
