Sweet Cat Names, Simple but Sweet Names for Kittens

Sweet cat names are the ones that make you smile every time you call your kitten for breakfast. If your new arrival is tiny, soft and follows you from room to room, a sweet cat name captures that cozy feeling and keeps it alive even when your kitten grows into a full-sized cat. These names are simple, gentle and easy on the ear.

For cat-loving homes, sweet cat names often draw on food, nature and old terms of endearment. Honey, warm and golden, suits a ginger kitten with a soft purr. Daisy, a cheerful English flower name, fits a white-and-tan queen who loves the garden. Muffin, cozy and round, is perfect for a fluffy lap cat who kneads your blanket. Willow, from the graceful English tree, works for a slim tabby with flowing movement. Lulu, short, bright and playful, suits a chatty kitten who answers when you talk. Each of these sweet cat names feels like a small hug.

Say your sweet cat names out loud at the food bowl and in a quiet room, the best one will roll off the tongue and make your cat look up. Two-syllable names ending in a bright vowel usually work best.
