100+ Funny Cat Names for Your Little Rascal
Look no further than these 100+ funny cat names when you don’t know how to call your furry companion.
Does your cat’s antics give you the giggles? Or is she more of “a-fraidy cat,” darting from her own reflection? Does she pop out of hiding places and scare you to death? Maybe she is an absolute princess or a superhero of a feline. When you choose the funny cat names for your little (or big) balls of fur, you should keep in mind the name should reflect its personality to a tee.
Do not think you need to be a crazy cat lady to consider that your little rascal needs a name that suits his or her unique personality, flair, and behavioral patterns. It’s also just plain fun to choose from a list of funny cat names and find one that makes you smile every time it rolls off your tongue.
In Madeleine L’Engle’s sequel to her coming-of-age fantasy book, A Wrinkle in Time (A Wind in the Door), the author writes that to name something is to give it its essence. She continues to mention that naming something is to love that thing unconditionally! Well, isn’t that how we feel about our feline family members?
We love them as unconditionally as they love us. Since there is seemingly power in a name (J. K. Rawling and all the Harry Potter fans out there would agree), we must take the time to find the right one for our little rascal. Below, you will find 100+ funny cat names to consider for your feline companion.

2. How does a cat know its name? How can you learn?
It is a simple test you can perform to learn whether your cat knows its name. Pick four or five random words that have the same length and intonation (they should rhyme, in fact) with the cat’s name. Say the words out loud, clearly, separated by 15-20 seconds pauses. Insert the cat’s name in the list of words. If the cat swivels its ears or raises its head when it hears the name, it means it knows and recognizes it. You can perform the same test with dogs as well to see how fast they learn their names.
