October Cat Names, Names Inspired By October
Did your kitten come home in October, or do you simply love this crisp autumn month? October cat names are a wonderful way to celebrate the tenth month of the year, when leaves turn fiery red, pumpkins light up porches, and Halloween brings out witchy magic. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Hispanic Heritage Month, plus it holds Thanksgiving in Canada. Whatever draws you to the season, an October cat name captures that cozy autumn spirit beautifully.
Great October cat names pull from fall colors, Halloween, and seasonal fun. Try Pumpkin for an orange tabby, Spice for a warm-coated girl, or Maple for a chestnut kitten. Salem, Hocus, and Poe lean into Halloween witchy charm. October itself works as a name, as do Autumn, Harvest, and Cider. Black cats suit Midnight, Raven, or Jinx. For a more playful pick, try Boo, Ghost, or Cauldron.
