Naughty Cat Names, Names for Naughty Kitten

If your kitten has already knocked over a water glass, climbed the curtains, and dragged a sock across the floor like a small victory flag, congratulations: you have a naughty cat. These little chaos agents turn the quietest home into a comedy show, and most cat owners would not have it any other way. A naughty cat name celebrates that mischief instead of fighting it, and it gives you a gentle way to laugh the next time she appears on top of the refrigerator.

Naughty cat names lean into trouble with a wink. Bandit suits the kitten who steals hair ties and hides them under the couch, while Jinx fits the one who always seems to be standing where you are about to step. Mischief, Chaos, and Trouble say exactly what they mean, and Loki brings a mythological twist for a particularly clever troublemaker. For a sweet-looking girl with a wild streak, Lolita, Trixie, or Sass tell the truth about her personality.

A naughty cat name works best when it has a short, snappy sound you can call out across a room in one breath; cats respond to quick, sharp names, which is ideal for a kitten who needs to be called off the counter often. A good-natured name also keeps you smiling when the trouble is already underway. For more playful ideas, see our popular cat names, magical cat names, and shy cat names pages. Give your little outlaw a naughty cat name worthy of her schemes.
