70 Perfectly-Fitting Fluffy Cat Names

Although you can come up with an array of nicknames off the top of your head, what you choose as your fluffy cat’s original name may take some serious consideration. If you’ve just adopted an extra fluffy kitty to add to your family, you may need a little bit of inspiration before deciding on their final name. Discover 70 perfectly fitting fluffy cat names! We break them down into separate categories to make it easy for you to peruse options. Some are classics, and some are wacky, but each is selected specifically for the fluffiest of cats!

Naming Your Cat

Sometimes, you just know. The name drops out of the sky and lands into your mind, and it’s a done deal. But if you’re struggling to name your cat, we’re here to help you hone in on something suitable. Start by describing your cat’s personality. Are they mischievous and energetic or more reserved and cautious? Their personality alone can help direct you to the type of name that works best. Also, consider whether you want a straightforward name or something silly that ensures a laugh at each introduction! Even if you go with something silly or creative, keep in mind that it should be easy to remember.

What Constitutes Fluffy?

They’re all furry (well, except hairless cats), but what makes a cat fluffy? Mostly, it’s long-haired cats. But you can choose to call your short-haired or medium-haired cat whatever your heart desires! In the lists below, we share a couple of different fluffy cat names. Some are based on your floof’s fur color while others are specifically for female and male cats respectively.

If you want to honor a music legend with the name you give your fluffy cat, we have a couple of options for you. We also include cheesy names (because if you’re not baby-talking with your cat, what are you doing?). Plus, we include some original, ultra-creative names to get your noggin going because the name you choose for your kitty is between the two of you (and your veterinarian, who may just get a kick out of it, too!).
