More than 25 funny cat name ideas for 2020

Cat Middleton

If your cat has the elegant air of a royal, this could work for you. It would suit a Russian Blue.

Catniss Everdeen

Taken from The Hunger Games, this is a name for a rugged hero like a Norwegian Forest Cat.

Catticus Finch

Would your cat be tempted to kill a mockingbird? We hope not. A Turkish Angora could make sure justice is served.

Catty McCatface

If there were a competition for cat naming, this would be a strong contender. It would work for a Snowshoe.

Chairman Meow

For a cat with an air of authority, like a Ceylon.

Chewy

For furry fans of Star Wars, like a nice Highland Fold.

Clawdius the God

A Devon Rex might handle being named after a Roman emperor, perhaps.

Dame Mewdy Dench

A British institution, this is a name fit for a British Shorthair.

David Meowie

This name has to go to a cat with odd coloured eyes, such as the Khao Manee.

Fidel Catstrow

An Oriental looks like a cat that could live up to this revolutionary name.

Fuzz Aldrin

A fluffy Persian would be a cute holder of this pioneering name.

Genghis Cat

This is a name for a marauding Norwegian Forest Cat.

Gizmo

This is a cute little Munchkin name. Just don’t feed it after midnight!

Kitty Minaj

This is a good name for an Exotic Shorthair, we think.

Kitty Perry

Another musical inspiration, this name would work for a Japanese Bobtail.

Maccaroni

Food (especially pasta) is just naturally amusing. Why not give your Pixie-bob a cheesy noodle name?

Meowa Wallace

From Pulp Fiction, this is for a Siamese with great moves and attitude.

Meowly Cyrus

For a cat that came in like a wrecking ball (of wool?). Maybe a good name for an American Shorthair.

Mr Meowgi

This is for a cat that has wisdom and balance, and who knows a thing or two about self-defence. An Ocicat, perhaps?

Mr Meowington

Mr Meowington is a dignified and proper name for a Tiffany.

Mr Pickles

This is for a small cat with a lot of flavour, like a characterful Munchkin.

Mrs Claws

Elegant and festive, this is a name for a Turkish Van.

Mufassa

A lion-like Siberian cat could command such a name.

Neil Catrick Harris

This is a quick-witted name for a LaPerm.

Purrdy Pie

This is a name for a jokester like a Cornish Rex.

Shakespurr

The writer of Pericles, Prince of Tyre, and Antony and Cleopatra might inspire a name for a ruffled Ragamuffin.

Sir Poopsalot

Fortunately, he also buries it. This is a noble name for a Turkish Angora.

Whiskers McFee

A rugged name for a no-nonsense Scottish Fold.

Yoda

There is no try, only do. A Peterbald was born for this role.
