If you’re on the hunt for a title that suits your big guy or gal, look no further. We’ve rounded up 150 of the best fat cat names to help you find the perfect fit. Trust us; your kitty will thank you.
How to Name Your Cat
When it comes to naming your cat, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First and foremost, you want to choose a name that your cat will actually respond to. If you try to go too creative, you may end up with a list of names that your kitty doesn’t respond to at all.
Secondly, you want to pick a name that suits your cat’s personality. A good rule of thumb is to choose a name that you would also use to describe your cat if they were a person.
And lastly, don’t forget that you’ll be saying this name a lot, so make sure it’s something you’re comfortable with.
