Tips for Naming Your Unique Female Cat
When thinking of a name for your female cat, pick something with lasting power. Cats live an average of 13 to 17 years and sometimes longer. Also, choose something you feel comfortable sharing with your friends, family, and cat's vet's office. Some other ways you can come up with a cat's name include observing your cat's actions, quirky mannerisms, or physical characteristics. You can take cues from fur color or breed, too. For instance, the regal Persian breed yields popular names like Diva, Sheba, and Princess.
