DC Comics Cat Names: Selina, Streaky and Hero or Villain Picks

From the towers of Metropolis to the alleys of Gotham, DC Comics has built nearly a century of heroes and rogues, and its roster makes a bold source for cat names. The universe even comes with its own felines: Streaky the Super-Cat, Supergirl's orange tabby, and the cats kept by Selina Kyle, better known as Catwoman. Whether your cat plays the caped hero or the scheming villain, a DC name lands at once for comics fans while staying short and punchy enough for a cat to learn.

The picks divide neatly into heroes and rogues. The heroes give you strong, upright names like Clark, Diana, Bruce, Kara and Barry, while the villains lend dramatic, mischievous options such as Harley, Joker, Ivy and Bane for a cat with attitude. Alter egos and code names add a second layer, letting you pick Selina for a sleek cat or Streaky for a ginger one. Coat colour guides the choice, with a black cat wearing a Gotham villain name, an orange cat carrying Streaky, and a bright bold cat suiting a hero pick. Bonded pairs work well, echoing a hero and a rogue who circle each other endlessly. Many of these names appear in our dictionary and are linked below with their meanings, so browse the curated list and find the one that fits your own caped crusader or cat burglar.
