How to Choose the Perfect Name

A name only works if you'll enjoy saying it hundreds of times a day, so keep these tips in mind.

Pick one or two syllables. Cats respond best to short, crisp names, and names ending in an "ee" sound, like Penny or Coco, tend to catch their attention.

Match the name to the cat. Watch your calico for a few days. A bold, bossy cat might suit Duchess or Gremlin, while a gentle lap-lover might be a Willow or a Honey.

Use the coat for inspiration. Look at the patch pattern. Orange and cream tones suggest Caramel, Peaches or Marigold, while bold black patches suggest Domino or Pepper.

Test it at the vet. Imagine calling the name in a waiting room. If it makes you smile instead of cringe, you've found a keeper.

Say it with a cuddle. Pair the name with treats and affection for the first week. Cats learn names quickly when the sound is linked to good things.

Don't Forget Nicknames

Most cats collect several names over time. Mochi becomes Mo, Mo-Mo, then Moey-Poey, and the cat answers to all of them. Pick a main name that works for official paperwork and the vet, then let nicknames grow naturally. Whichever you choose, your calico will treat it as a royal title.
