Tips

 * Pick a name that will fit your cat for the rest of his or her life. What fits a small cuddly kitten today might not work when the cat is all grown up.
 * Wondering if you have the right cat name? Try it out! Say it out loud, in several different tones. You’ll know right away if it sounds right.
 * If a name is hard to pronounce, others will likely have a hard time saying your cat’s name, at least at first.
 * Many cat experts recommend a shorter name that comes to your lips easily. At times it’s important to get your cat’s attention very quickly!
