Unisex Friendly Cat Names

Some kittens march up, headbutt your hand, and announce themselves as instant best friends, and for those sweet sociable souls a friendly cat name fits like a warm hug. Whether your kitten is curling up with the kids, greeting the mail carrier, or sprawling belly-up for every guest, a welcoming name celebrates her open heart and makes the bond between your family and your new baby feel even brighter.

Buddy is as classic as it gets, a warm and easy name for a boy; Sunny suits a cheerful yellow-or-orange kitten who brightens every room; and Honey fits a sweet girl with a gentle purr. Amity means 'friendship' in Latin, a graceful choice, while Mochi has become a global favorite for its cuddly softness. Sweetpea works beautifully on a small, affectionate female who loves to be held.

Try a friendly cat name in your softest voice and watch her trot over; the right pick will feel mutual. Pair these with our heroic cat names for a brave-and-sweet combo, or see our food cat names for cuddly edible picks. A friendly name tells the world exactly who your kitten is.
