How to Name a Grey Cat

Download Article

Choose a name that fits your cat’s personality. You don’t have to name your cat the second you bring it home. Instead, wait a few days so you can learn more about its personality. For example, if your cat is quiet and shy, you might name it Mouse. If it’s loud and chaotic, consider a name like Thunder. Here are some other things to consider when choosing a name:
- Name your cat after any defining features or markings.
- Choose a name inspired by your favorite fictional feline.
- Make a pun based on your cat’s coloring.
- Go for something short that’s easy for your cat to learn.
