Looking for a funny name for your cat? Start with the kind of humor you like: a cat-themed pun, a food name, a pop-culture nod, or a joke that fits your cat’s looks or personality. Here are 90 ideas, including options for a female cat.
Funny cat names at a glance
Choose a name you enjoy saying and that feels like a fit for your cat. Purina recommends considering a short name and taking inspiration from a cat’s appearance or personality; that is practical guidance, not a strict rule. Purina’s cat-naming advice also offers food names such as Muffin.

How to pick the right joke
Try the name out loud and see whether it still makes you smile after the initial joke wears off. You can narrow the list by asking whether you want a pun, a food reference, a pop-culture nod, or a name tied to a visible trait or habit. PetMD suggests naming inspiration can also come from a naming contest or favorite foods and performing artists: PetMD’s cat-name ideas.
These are inspiration, not claims that a name is unique or universally funny. The best choice is one you like and that suits the particular cat.
