Are you looking for that perfect cat name that just fits your kitty? Naming a cat can be difficult. One way many pet owners do it is to look for a name that goes with your cat's personality, physical characteristic or maybe how you found him or her? For example, is your kitty a stray that you found?

Here are some names ideas for cats that are known to be strays or rescued kitties. Many strays are named for the street where they were found or the community where they were found. For example, I know a kitty named "Main Street" and another cat named "Belmont" because he was found wandering in "Belmont County". Another common way is by the day of the week that you found the cat – I know a cat named "Tuesday" that was found on a Tuesday.

I hope this list gives you some ideas or helps you find the perfect name for your cat!
