Unusual Male Cat Names After 10 Greatest Cowboys
The old version of this list was all movie stars. This rewrite splits cowboy cat names into three honest groups so you know what you are naming your tom after. First come the real outlaws and lawmen: Wyatt Earp of the 1881 OK Corral gunfight, dentist-turned-gunman Doc Holliday, Bass Reeves the formerly enslaved deputy marshal with over three thousand arrests, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and the Butch Cassidy and Sundance pair. Next are the screen legends who built the myth, verified by actor and role: John Wayne as Duke and Rooster Cogburn, Clint Eastwood, Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger, Gary Cooper, and Django. Last are the Western words, from Colt and Winchester to Mesa, Canyon, Sage, Bronco, and Vaquero. The piece distinguishes history from Hollywood, flags that some figures were real Indigenous leaders, and helps you match the right rugged name to your cat.
