How to choose the perfect name for your female cat

We know that you're going to research and look for many different options before settling on a name for your new female cat - that's what you should do! Her name should not only match her overall appearance, but also her personality. Moreover, the name that you choose should be relatively simple, easy to remember and to understand so that your cat can understand it.

Therefore, we recommend Japanese names, since they have quite coherent, straight-forward pronunciations. Look for a name that's not too long or difficult for you; it should sound natural when you say it. However, you have the last word - the name must sound pleasant to you and your cat.
