Cartoon Cat Names, Names After Cartoon Cat Characters

Cartoon cat names pull from a century of animated mischief, from clumsy black-and-white film cats to glossy modern streaming stars. For cat owners who grew up on Saturday-morning cartoons, or who still watch animation with real affection, a cartoon cat name turns your kitten into a small living cameo from a favorite show. It is a cheerful, instantly recognizable choice that sparks grins at every vet visit and makes kids, especially, light up with delight.

Garfield suits a big orange tabby with strong lasagna opinions and a lazy streak. Tom fits a clever grey boy who schemes and loses in approximately equal measure, while Felix gives a classic black-and-white cat a vintage, perfectly timed charm. Salem, after the witch's familiar, works beautifully for a sleek black cat with attitude, and Duchess, from The Aristocats, wraps a white long-haired queen in Parisian elegance with just the right hint of adventure.

When you try a cartoon cat name, think about whether the character personality matches your cat at all, because the best pairings feel a little telling. If these delight you, our 'Disney' and 'animated movie' cat name collections extend the same cheerful mood. Cartoon cat names are small daily doses of play, and every 'Garfield, out of the lasagna' becomes an ongoing affectionate joke between you and the specific, furry animated-looking creature currently running your household like her own personal series finale.
