Naming your new feline is an exciting part of bringing them home. Whether they are brand new kittens, or a mature cat starting a new chapter in their life, they deserve a name that’s bold and adventurous, maybe something docile to compliment their calm and coy personality, perhaps a name that’s sassy for the cat with an attitude – whichever you choose, you can be sure that you will have more of a connection to it than your feline! Ultimately, what you name your cat tells the world more about you, than it ever does your feline companion – so choose something you absolutely love!
