Tips for naming your cat
- Lean on the "ee" sound. Cats hear high-frequency endings best, so names like Lily, Mochi or Smokey grab attention.
- Watch their personality first. Live with a kitten a few days — a name often suggests itself from how they act.
- Keep it to two syllables. Short names are easier for a cat to learn to recognize at feeding time.
