When it’s time to name your new cat or kitten, why not choose a name that’s just as cute as they are? Here at Rover, we love to talk pet names. Even more, we love to see what names everybody is using or thinking about.
So we dove into our huge database of cat monikers to find the cutest.

Whether you go with Cricket for a bouncy kitten or Daffodil for a mature kitty of leisure, the things that charm us about our cats can inspire.

Choosing the Best Name for Your Cat
Cute is in the eye of the beholder. While my sister thinks Trevor is the cutest name around, I’d prefer Dandelion or Snap Dragon. When you find a name that makes you smile and captures that special something about your cat, add it to your list.
You can always count on friends and coworkers to have opinions, so ask around. Maybe your cat can even help you choose. Write down some name options and tape them along a string. Which name does she pounce on first?
Your cat’s name is a special expression of your personality and your affection for your pet. So, go with your heart, and most of all… have fun!
Need Cat Sitting?
Cats seem more independent than dogs, sure, but they need attention, play, and treats when you’re gone, too. Your great cat deserves great cat care. You’ve found the best cat name, so now it’s time to find them the perfect cat sitter.
Find your cat’s perfect match, right from your phone—and then hit the road happy.
