Tips for Choosing Gray Cat Names
If your cat or kitten is gray, it can be fun to choose a name that pays homage to their color. Gray cats come in a wide array of patterns. Whether your cat is solid gray, gray with tabby stripes, or gray with white markings, you have a lot of options for gray-themed cat names.
When trying to land upon a great name for a gray cat or kitten, first start by considering your cat or kitten’s individual character. Among all the gray-themed cat names, there are names to fit every cat’s personality. Is your gray cat sociable or shy? Is your cat active or laid back? Is your gray cat goofy or serious? You can also take into consideration the length of your cat’s coat. Is it short and sleek or long and fluffy?
Test out any names you think you might like by saying them out loud. Some cat names roll off the tongue better than others. Choose a name that’s easy and enjoyable to say—remember, you’ll be saying your cat’s name a lot!
If your cat is part of a wider family, make sure everyone is on board with the decision and that it isn't a name that will be easily confused with any other name in the household (for pets or people).
