How to choose a funny cat name

At this point we’re ready to grant you our very special ‘Funny Cat Names Expert’ certificate. Before we send you on your way to choose the one and only perfect – and perfectly funny – name for your kitten, though, we’d like to wrap this up by providing you with some general tips for choosing said moniker.

  1. Funny takes time – so take it! How will you choose the best-fitting quirky name for your fur baby if you don’t even know all its most precious quirks, yet? So, don’t worry if the perfect name for your little guy or gal doesn't come right away - rather wait, until something feels completely right!
  2. Short and sweet does the trick. Studies suggest that many pets, including cats, can best remember names with two syllables – so even if you fell in love with a hilariously funny cat name for your kitten that includes a title, first name, and last name, try and think of a nice short, two-syllable version you can use on a daily basis.
  3. Make it unique. We’re pretty sure there won’t be anyone named Noodle or Mittens among your friends and family, but should you decide to go for a funny human name for your cat, be sure it doesn’t rhyme with or sound too similar to any of their names.
  4. Mind the vowels. According to several studies, cats pick up on the vowels in their names much more than the consonants, which means that if you choose a name with clear, strong vowels, you have better chances of teaching your cat to remember and listen to it.
  5. Be sensitive. Sense of humor is very personal, and a funny cat name that makes you laugh out loud every time you hear or say it, might not seem funny at all to others. And that’s okay. Just make sure to be sensitive, too. Names that crack jokes at specific groups or people, for example, might not be the best choice.
  6. Know what you’re getting yourself into. Some recent findings suggest that the names we give our pets can influence their personality. So, just a word of caution: If you’d like a friendly, active, health-conscious kitty that’s never up to no good, maybe don’t call it Garfield. Or do and do your own research on whether the nomen est omen theory is actually true!

Are you sure about a funny cat name, or would you rather have a look at cute cat names, too, before you make your final decision? Or maybe you’re considering a punny cat name instead?

So, did you find the perfect name for your funny feline friend? Even if you’re 100% sure you’ll never make it as the next big thing in stand-up comedy, with the help of all our suggestions, we’re certain you’ve got everything you need to give the little monster a hilarious name that fits their unique personality to a tee!
