How to choose a great Cat name

  1. 1

    Cats respond best to names with high-pitched sounds — 'ee' endings help.

  2. 2

    Match the personality: dignified cats and gremlin cats need different names.

  3. 3

    Consider the colour and markings, but skip the obvious 'Midnight' unless it fits perfectly.
