How To Pick The Purrfect Cat Pun Name

Even though we’ve given you more than seventy cat pun names for inspiration, choosing the perfect one can be difficult, especially if you want it to be funny, but not too tacky.

Here are a few tips that might help you in picking a title for your fluffy feline friend:

  1. Choose A Timeless Name
    On average, cats usually live for around 12-15 years, so make sure you give them a name that will be relevant for many years. Choose something that will still make you giggle in five and even ten years’ time.
  2. Pick Something Everyone Will Find Funny
    Don’t choose a moniker that might be seen as offensive. If you are thinking about having a funny cat name then make sure it is refreshing and unique, but not distasteful or cringy. Don’t think too hard about it, sometimes overthinking can lead to stress and bad name ideas.
  3. Write Down Your Ideas
    Note down any simple, but funny and chuckle-worthy names you may think of, then perhaps run some of them by people you trust and get their opinions.

Summary

Cats are incredible creatures, with their talents and traits often being superior to human ability. They have:

  • Excellent hearing and a very strong sense of smell, so they can sniff out any terrible name you might be thinking of giving them.
  • Night-vision that is six times better than anything of a human – nothing gets past these creatures!

Give your pet cat a brilliant moniker that you will treasure for every second of your time together.
