Whether you are a fan of the original Broadway musical or the movie version that hit the silver screen in late 2019, "Cats" is full of a colorful cast of felines. Most of the names have a whimsical nature or are outright funny—like Griddlebone or Skimbleshanks.

Funny Cat Names for Felines Big and Small
Making the most of your cat's size—whether they are small or large—is a proven formula for coming up with a funny cat name. Big cats have a reputation for being frequent nappers, and names like Dough Boy or Meaty will make you giggle when you catch your kitty dozing off, again.
On the other hand, naming your small cat with an oversized name like Big Boy or Boomer is an ironic option. And Machu Picchu, while one of South America's largest archaeological sites, is a fitting (and funny) name for your small kitty.
