Best Female Cat Names - Got a Girl Cat to Name?

By Anne Sterck

Female cat names and female kitten names are not hard to find but a good female cat name can be elusive!

Elusive? With all those lists of names on the web?

They are, especially if you don't want your cat to have the same name as every other cat on the block.
 
If you're looking for that particular, memorable or special name, it's time to put your thinking cap on.

Some of the best female cat names come with a lovely story attached. Like the black cat who got her special name, Friday, because she was brought home from the cat rescue center on Friday the 13th! Lucky for her.

What's behind the best female cat names?

Has your new kitten or cat got a story to tell? Could that story provide the inspiration for her special, unique cat name? If so, go for it!

No story? No worries.

How about a name that describes her beautiful eyes or her fur? Cocoa for a tortoiseshell or Calico cat, Honey if she's red or ginger, or Bluebell for the feline with blue eyes to die for.

Want cool, unique or cute kitten names? Chanel after the perfume for the luxurious cat, Silk and Lightning for the unique sophisticated feline, and why not Dinky, Bambi or Bubbles for the cutest of kittens?

Still no inspiration? Lets mine the beautiful world of crystals and precious stones. Could you imagine your beautiful cream-colored cat with a name like Pearl? Or Amber if she's ginger, and Sapphire if - you guessed it - it's those big beautiful blue eyes again.

Time for tea, anyone?

I did much of the research on my female cat names in the UK, a great source for names. Something British... Cadbury, perhaps, or Miss Marple from Agatha Christie's famous detective stories.

You can be extra-creative and check out Wiccan cat names based on nature or something a bit spooky. Why not Hallowe'en?

Or something to do with trees - like Cypress, Holly or Hazel, or from within the magical plant kingdom you could consider Poppy, Rose, Gentian or Valerian.

If none of these work for you, there's no reason to give up - not at all. You could go for something popular: enter Miss Kitty, Millie and Sophie, all beautiful girl cat names for your special kitty.

Good luck in your quest. May the inspirational female cat naming muse light your way!
