Tips for naming your girl cat

Picking a name for your new cat is a big decision. This is the name they'll answer to (or completely ignore, because, cats) for the rest of their lives. 

Here are some tips to help you find the best name for your furball:

Listen to your heart

First things first, remember that it's your cat, which means you have the final say on their name. If you’re set on naming your cat “Captain Meowster,” then go for it. If you love it, your cat will too. 

Have fun with it 

Honestly, anything goes. Whether it’s a character from your favorite novel, a classic poem, or that obscure sci-fi series you’ve been raving about, don’t be afraid to get creative. A good name is one that makes you smile (or laugh out loud) when you call them. 

Stick with it 

No takebacks! Changing your cat’s name can confuse them, especially when they’re new to the family. Use their name often, and they'll learn to associate it with good things like treats, cuddles, and playtime. 

Let the naming adventures begin

With hundreds of the best female cat names to inspire you, you’re bound to find the perfect fit for your kitty — even if she only responds when she hears the treat bag rattling. And if you’re looking to name a boy cat next, get inspired by these male cat name ideas.

Of course, even the most awesomely named cats need good care. Learn more about how cat insurance can help keep your cat happy and healthy for years to come.
