Looking for cat names based on your cat’s appearance?

You’ve come to the right place!

When you first get a new cat, it will probably take you a while to discover its true personality, so one of the easiest and surest ways to go about naming it is by its appearance. We say ‘surest’ because your black cat will most likely stay black, and your kitten’s ‘boots’ aren’t going to come off. Likewise, you can expect certain breeds of cats (like Maine Coons for example) to grow up to be large in size, while others will stay small.

Below is a list of cat names based on appearance. One of them might be the perfect name for your new cat!
