When we get to hold our kittens for the first time, we instantly notice how incredibly soft they are!  Although we can’t seem to keep their hair off our clothes, there is just something so unique and warm about our felines with great manes! Interestingly, pet owners often like to name kittens after their physical traits. So, we compiled a list of names inspired by their long hair! Check out our top picks for females and males and a few specific to the most common coat colors.
Although black kittens can be found in any litter, the most common long-haired black cat breed is the Bombay. With their dark tufts and glowing yellow eyes, they are among some of the most beautiful kitties around.
