Famous Cat Names, Names of Famous Cats, Page 2
Some cats become true household legends: Garfield lounging with his lasagna, Grumpy Cat frowning from every meme, Salem casting spells on Sabrina. If one of those famous cats made you smile through childhood or a tough week, a famous cat name turns your own kitten into a daily little tribute, and it is a wonderful conversation-starter every time a friend meets your furry co-star.
Try Garfield for an orange tabby with an attitude; Felix for a playful black-and-white charmer (the animated Felix the Cat dates back to 1919); Sylvester for a tuxedo who loves to scheme; Tom from Tom and Jerry for a grey mouser; or Simba for a golden boy with a lion's heart. Crookshanks, Hermione's half-kneazle in Harry Potter, fits a shaggy ginger with clever eyes.
Speak a famous cat name out loud and notice whether it makes you grin; that spark is the sign of the right fit. For more character picks, visit our funny cat names or movie-inspired lists, and see our heroic cat names for brave on-screen felines. A famous name gives your kitten instant star power.
