How to Pick a Name for Your Cat
Think about your kitten or cat's physical traits and personality. Ask yourself the following questions:
- How does my cat behave? Bold? Funny? Clumsy? Athletic?
- What does he or she look like? Soft and cuddly? Striped and wild? Boy or girl?
- What is my personality like? Do I like the adorable Pokémon or the serious characters?
