Your wonderful kitty will be more than happy with any name you present it with, but by giving it a unique, rare, and interesting name, you'll elevate your kitty's sophistication.

The most important thing to think about when choosing any name for your cat is to make sure that it is suitable. No matter how funny, interesting, cute, or unique your chosen name might be, if it isn't easy to notice and recognize for your careful cat, it is a bad choice and should be avoided like the plague.

Interesting and unique names are fantastic and will always be sure to bring smiles to the faces of your friends and families, but that doesn't mean they're worth the hassle. A good cat name is short, sweet, and ends with a vowel. While the latter point is negotiable, it really should be that simple.

Here are a few tips for choosing a good and unique cat name:

• The name needs to be short, preferably no longer than two syllables.
• Ideally, the name ends in a vowel.
• You must choose a name that is not similar to the name of another pet or person in your household.
• It is important to choose a name that is not reminiscent of a commonly used word.
• How does the name make you feel, and what does it mean to you?
• Does the name suit the personality?
• Never change a cat's name that has already been chosen and taught.

It might be difficult to avoid a cat name filled with cliché and tradition, but if you manage to think up and choose something interesting and unique, you'll never regret it.
