Good black cat names

Choosing a name for your cat can sometimes be tricky. It needs to be a name that we like but, at the same time, it should hold relevance to your cat's character. When choosing a name for your black cat, some things should be taken into consideration:

  • The name should be short and easy to learn, formed by maximum 2 syllables.
  • The name should not be similar to another word that you use commonly, e.g. "coffee". Calling a pet by a common word in your vocabulary can confuse the animal, especially when training your cat to learn its name.
  • Repeat your black cat's new name to them regularly over a span of 5-10 days. Cat's need about two weeks before they begin to correctly recognize their names.

If you have just adopted a cat, we recommend reading our article on how to train a kitten.
