Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a good cat name?
Choose a name of one or two syllables that is easy to say and sounds distinct from common commands. Say it aloud, and make sure everyone in the family likes it.
Can I change my cat's name later?
Yes. Cats learn names through association, so use the new name with treats and praise and most pets adjust within a couple of weeks.
Should a cat's name sound like a command?
It's best to avoid names that sound like commands, such as "Kit" and "Sit" or "Joe" and "No", because they can confuse your cat.
Some names are inspired by fictional characters and brands; all trademarks belong to their owners.
