Unique Cat Names

Some cats are "cattier" than others! You know? They are just completely individual. perfect, and original. They like to walk around the house to the beat of their own drum so to speak.

Perhaps it's because he or she is a certain breed, or has a particular temperament or personality, or has completely unpredictable behavior; whatever it is, your cat is going to need a distinctive name. No worries, we have them here on this page of the site.

For example there was an adopted Manx cat that loved to eat his favorite food - ice cream. The name "ice cream" however wasn't a very practical name to call him, so his loving family continued searching for a good name to give him. Then the idea came up for "Gelato", which is Italian for ice cream. It fit the feline while also being distinct. People can be so creative when naming a kitty and so can you.

We hope as you read the unique names below, some of which are friendly and beautiful with their various meanings, help you find, choose, or at least spark some ideas for your particular cat or baby kitten so your pet can have a name that is as uncommon as he or she is!

* Avalon, Rowyn, Taliesyn: I have three cats. The orange and white male is named Taliesyn who was the real name of Merlin in King Arthur. The female tiger is named Rowyn and the gray and white female is named Avalon after the lost island in the Arthurian legends. Phyllis Black
* KelseyBell: About a month ago I adopted a 9 year old female cat from a shelter, her name is Kelsey, but I wanted to put or add something to her name to celebrate her new family and lease on life. I decided on KelseyBell, it was that or KelseyKins but I fell "Bell" suited her better since she was an older cat. Debra Packard
* La Llorona: My kitten has a very unique name - La Llorona which is Spanish for the weeping woman. This last summer one evening a friend of mine and I took her kids to a nearby park. While we let the kids play and were talking we suddenly heard a kitten crying. Clear across the park in a small crack under a street bridge we found a tiny little kitten. We could not reach her and the local animal shelter would not come help us either. After three days of tempting her out with food we finally were able to grab a hold of her and get her out of the hole. I named her La Llorona (pernounced yarona) which is a Mexican folklore tail of a "weeping or crying lady." I thought it was fitting since such loud cries came from such a tiny little girl. She is still very vocal to this day and we call her La Lo for short. Jennifer Strutton
* Mukisa: My cat's name is Mukisa (pronounced moo key sa) meaning Good Fortune and yes this cat has had a good fortune. He is was a stray cat found by my boyfriend's mother with a litter of other kittens. He's been with us for about 9 years now and is a very happy and lazy cat. Amanda Livingston
