Finding a name for your cat is the next step after choosing a cat type. It’s best to have a name for your cat before you go out to buy or adopt a cat so that you can put your cat’s name on the official papers. 

Cat’s name: how to choose it?

Unlike a dog, which needs a name that sounds good when called, a cat does not require a specific name. There is a good chance that your cat will not respond to his name and will only come when he decides to. Therefore, the choice of a cat name is free and personal. However, some breeds have an exotic geographical origin that can help you select a related name. We do not give the same name to a sophisticated Persian and a rustic Norwegian!

Pedigree cat names

If you buy a purebred cat, the breeder will have already given it a name, which is essential for its declaration to the Official Feline Registry. You are then free to keep this name or to provide him with another one for family use. But on his papers, he will mark the first name his breeder gave, to which you can add “say xxx”. Here is some additional information to know about the names of purebred cats:

    – Purebred cats have a two-part name: their first name followed by their last name.

    – A purebred cat’s first name should begin with the year’s letter. This makes it easy to tell when and where the cat was born.

Good to know: Cats that do not have a pedigree may have a first name beginning with the letter of your choice. The last name of a cat is an affix: the name of the cattery in which it was born.
