How to choose a great cat name
- Keep it short: 1–2 syllables are easier to call.
- Say it out loud: choose a name that sounds clear from a distance.
- Match the vibe: cute, classy, funny, or mythical—pick a style you love.
- Think nicknames: make sure it shortens naturally.
- Avoid confusion: names that sound like common commands can be harder.
