Tips for Naming Your Black-and-White Cat

Although it’s not required to choose a name that reflects the color of your cat, black-and-white cats are visually striking, so it can be fun to select a name that plays off of their color pattern. Black-and-white cats vary in pattern, including black with white spots, mostly white with black spots, and 50/50 black and white. Small white markings on the chest are referred to as stars or tuxedo markings, and some black-and-white cats have facial markings that resemble mustaches or goatees. 

When trying to come up with the perfect name for your new black-and-white cat or kitten, also consider your feline friend’s individual personality. A playful, fun-loving cat can easily wear a silly, lighthearted name well, while a serious cat might do best with a name that’s more traditional or straightforward.

Remember, it’s OK to test out names for a few days before committing. Say the name out loud and practice calling your cat with the name to see how it suits your cat. You might find it’s perfect, or not quite right—either way, you’ll make some progress! When sorting through names, consider whether they are easy to say. After all, you’ll be saying your cat’s name a lot!
