Some cats have such enormously boisterous and charming personalities, it’s hard to deny their charisma. They’re confident, suave, social and command the attention of everyone in the room the second they walk in. I’ve met a number of purrsonalties over the years, yet there’s something unmistakably endearing about the presence of a cool cat.
While all cats typically grow into their personality more as they age, it’s usually pretty obvious who the cool cat in the room is even when he or she is a kitten. If you manage to snag one of these gems – adopting a Chatty Cathy, a Talkative Tom, a Suave Selena, or a Boisterous Bill into your home, let me tell you – you’re headed for years and years of entertainment, a lot of laughs, and likely, a sprinkle of mischief/trouble as well.
It’s hard to pick a name that’ll match the enormity of a big personality cool cat, but I’ve certainly tried my best to find a few you might like in this article.
I’ve split the list in two – section one for cool male cat names and section two for cool female cat names – but ever so many of the names I chose to feature actually work for either gender.
If you haven’t yet adopted your cat, but are looking for a cool name for either a boy or a girl cat/kitten depending on which feline you end up bonding with, you may want to consider selecting a single unisex name instead of selecting one for each gender. Or you could always have a shortlist of a few different names to choose from in case the single name you picked out doesn’t fit the cat you fond perfectly. Lots of ways to go about planning names for a new cat!
Good luck with your search! And do leave me a comment with any more cool cat name recommendations in the comments down below.

Your Favourite Cool Cat Names?
What are your personal favourite cool cat names?
Are there any names I didn’t list here that really should be up on this list?
Ever had a cool cat yourself? What was his/her personality like? Was your cat a boy or a girl and what did you end up naming him or her?
Looking forward to reading your suggestions down below!
dunno, am easy in picking kitty names suited to their personalities. Love unique names esp.
Now add those to Italian names, the list becomes infinite.
Right this moment, the galaxies send me this for any u guys searching for one.
How about Alfonso???? LOL
Our first cat was Zoe Grace. Easy-going, sweet natured. Then along came Emmy. A lovely cat who became more affectionate the older she became. We also had an easy-going, sweet boy we named Thomas. Right now we have cute little Downy. We’ll be adopting a brother & sister soon…so we’re thinking of names, of course.
We like the name Coby for a boy
a couple of our boy brothers are Alex & Docker
also our dear sweet little girl Twinkles lived to 21 & 1/2 years old miss her so much
we also have a boy Rusty
love all kittys !
Alex, Docker, and Rusty – a lovely combination of names! Always love strong sounding names, so I think those are perfect. 🙂
21 and a half! Wowsa. I hope my cat lives that long!
How about Gingerbread ? My ginger tom cat had both a ginger mother and ginger father, hence he was ginger bred .. see ?
Oh this is absolutely adorable! I need to add this when I write up my unique cat names article – that is too genius not to share!
My cat’s name doesn’t make the list.😪😭😭😿😿 But she’s a real cool cat. Her Name is Daisy Mae. Somebody else’s didn’t make the list and their cat’s name was Pretzel. That’s a cool name too. These should be added to the list.
Daisy Mae is too pretty. It’s being saved for my feminine cat names article! 🙂 But I’ll probably separate the two names and then mention people can combine them for a lovely unique effect, as you have. I doubt there are many Daisy Mae’s out there!
That’s my kitty. She still gets into what looks like knots too.
My most favorite was Patches. She was a calico with a kink in her tail. She wanted to be next to me when we slept. Then she’d come up and put her cold nose in the middle of the back of my neck to get me to lift up the covers so she could go under the covers then would curl up behind my knees. When I took her to get spayed, she was apparently having a fit, peeing and defecating on herself. I had to go back and get her since she wasn’t having anything to do with them. The vet said he’d never seen a cat that was that attached to their human. She died of old age at 19 years. She was all but blind from cataracts. At that point, I’d shad her half my life.
I usually wait a bit before naming a pet, dog or cat, to see what their personality is. Pretzel was originally called Callie but it just didn’t fit. Pretzel is perfect.
I have a kitty named Pretzel. She’s the color and gets in my lap with her head in my lap and gets her body twisted and her legs going every which way so you have to look to see which leg is which. She’s not doing much of that right now since she had 4 kittens near midnight on the 17th. I’ve left her and the kittens alone until next week.
That is a simply scrumptious cat name 🙂 I’m going to save it for my unique/original cat names post! Love it and the origin of the name!
And no Pixie ? No Zorro ?
Oh but these I needed to place in my “unique cat names” post, so I was saving them for there!
For a couple of weeks, I was heartbroken after losing my Teddy a certosino to a liver disease. Then I saw this tiny thing meowing at me from her cage and was overwrought all night thinking about it. I instantly named my tuxedo kitty Zorro but upon knowing his gender days later, had to convert it into hers, ZORA…just as great, which in Greek symbolizes a great beginning…which she was to appease my grief and brought wonderful changes to my whole life. That tiny dot turned out to be my best Feng Shui Consultant, eliminating all the negative energetic items in my home. My precious child lived to 16 years before succumbing to her kidney ailement during covid. I love and miss her so much. Sssssssso much joy she was, forever in my heart and soul.
Pfffft……….no Cody? Shame, shame……
She also missed Beau 😉 That a biiiig shame 😉
I named Beau! He’s anything but chill 😉 An utter softie.
Cannot believe I missed Cody! Huge oversight on my part, honestly! I actually do think that is the cat name an incredibly cool cat would have 😉
Added to the list now, obviously!
