Witch Cat Names – 350 Magical Ideas For Your New Kitten

November 15, 2022 By Megan Austwick 9 Comments

witch cat names

Witch cat names are perfect for black cats, or any kitten with a magical, mysterious personality! We have lists of names for cats inspired by the wonderful world of witchcraft. From vintage, retro television shows to spookily inspired haunting words. Whether you love everything Halloween, or just want a completely unique name, we have the perfect choice for you!

Contents

  • Sabrina The Teenage Witch style
  • Harry Potter inspired
  • Popular witchy names
  • Cute names for cool cats
  • Stay spooky

It’s fun to wander into naming your pet with a topic in mind, like the fabulous world of mysterious hags and ghastly ghouls. But I always try to swing my focus back occasionally to reality (I know, boring right?) when i’m naming an animal that has as much freedom as dogs and cats do.

Because your kitty is going to free range in your home, and maybe even your backyard and local town, you probably want them to know their name and come when you call it. Whether that’s from down the road or upstairs at dinner time, it makes a big difference to the ease of living with a furry companion. So whilst thinking up brave and unusual ideas, just make sure your kitty’s handle is something distinctive, fairly short and easy to announce!

    Harry Potter does not turn into a cat, it is Professor McGonagall, who is an Animagus. Just saying. My grey cat is named Grimalkin.
