Male Cat Names: 369 Best & Powerful Names! (1)

Congratulations on your new kitty cat! What are you going to name her? Oh, you got a tomcat? That's fine!

There are lots of good names for boy cats! Girl cat names tend towards the lyrical sounding but there are masculine names that will fit your darling tom. Read on for some male cat names for your feline.

How to name Your Cat-Man

First, let's establish whether you have a girl or a boy. This will mean lifting the tail straight up and looking at your cat's rear end. The genitals are below the anus.

A male cat's genitals will be further from the anus than a female cat's. The male's genitals will also be more round, with the female's genitals looking more like a slit. It may help to know that cats respond better to high pitched sounds.

Your cat might respond to a name with a long “E” sound like Breezy, Ezekiel, Ixion or Prometheus. You could also try the fun of an ironic name, like Butch for a tiny, slightly built cat, Curly for a Sphynxor Teensy for a big bruiser.

The cat's appearance can make a good naming inspiration. An orange and black tabby could be called Tiger where a gray cat could be called Smokey.

Cat Names For Male Cats And Kittens

Some people like to give their cats human names, just as they would for a baby. It is a good way to make a new cat feel more like part of the family.

The most popular names for boys for this year are Liam, Noah, Oliver and Logan. Liam is the Irish form of William (“strong protector”) and is a name shared by many handsome actors and singers.

Noah, which means “rest” in Hebrew, likely jumped in popularity due to a recent (somewhat controversial) film about the Biblical account. Oliver, after the olive tree (a symbol of peace), happens to be the same name as a kitten from an often overlooked Disney film of the 80's calledOliver and Company.

Logan, which is Scots Gaelic for “hollow”, no doubt got more popular recently due to the Marvel superhero Wolverine. Keep reading for more good suggestions!
