Any and all cat owners know just how special our feline friends are! Just take it from Ree: "Thereâs nothingâabsolutely nothing, nothing, nothingâlike a good cat. Theyâre almost like little works of performance art walking around on earth."
So when you bring a new furry pal into your life, they deserve a name that's just as purrfect as they are. After all, choosing the right name is just as important as finding the right food, litter box, pet beds and the best cat toys. Because a cat's name is not only a way to identify them, but it can also reflect their unique personality and quirks. It makes them, them! Ree says of her cat, "I canât imagine what our lives would be like without his graceful, calm sweetnessâŚhis purry, paw-kneading affection." Which makes his name, Kitty Kitty, just so adorably fitting.
Some cat names are classics, like Felix or Whiskers, while others are more unconventional, such as Goose or Socks. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to pick.
