How to Choose the Best Cat Name (What Actually Works)
- Keep it short: One–two syllables are easiest to say and for cats to learn (Luna, Milo, Willow).
- End with a vowel or “e” sound: Names like Mimi, Rosie, Ollie often get quicker responses.
- Try it out loud: Call the name from across the room. If it feels natural, you’ll use it more.
- Match the vibe: Calm cat? Try Willow or Sage. Big personality? Try Ziggy, Loki, or Maverick.
- Avoid confusion: Don’t pick names that sound like common commands in your home.
