Cats rarely come when called anyway, so you can be as creative as you like. Still, names with an “ee” sound at the end (Mimi, Smokey, Kiki) catch a cat's attention best, because they stand out from normal speech.
Ideas
- Look at markings and colour: Socks, Smudge, Ginger, Shadow.
- Watch their personality for a week before deciding. The shy kitten might turn out to be a Napoleon.
- Funny human names like Kevin or Brenda are a whole genre of their own, and they never get old at the vet's.
