Tips for naming your boy cat
- Lean on the "ee" sound. Cats hear high-frequency endings best, so names like Milo, Smokey or Felix grab attention.
- Keep it to two syllables. Short names are easiest for a cat to learn to recognize at feeding time.
- Match his personality. A laid-back lap-cat suits Gus or Felix; a bold prowler wears Diesel or Zorro well.
