Funny Cat Names

The best funny cat names work because they are absurd in a friendly way, not a punchline you get tired of by week three. Every pick here is funny on first read and still a usable name on the hundredth.

Three kinds of funny work on cats: dignified-incongruous (Mr. Stevens for a tiny kitten), accurate-honest (Loaf for a cat that loafs), and pure-absurd (Beefcake on a six-pound Cornish Rex).

Funny names that depend on a specific reference (Senator Meowington) tend to wear out. Funny names rooted in the cat's actual behavior or shape last decades.

Our editor's picks

A hand-picked shortlist with the joke or angle attached.

Sir Loin
Knighted beef. The cat already thinks this.
Meowzart
Composer, screamer, somehow always at 3am.
Catpernicus
Believes the world revolves around the cat. Correct.
Notorious C.A.T.
Yes. Always.
Sandwich
Inexplicable. Devastating. Keeps working.
The Goose
Not a goose. Honks anyway.

Naming tips

01Test the name with one neutral phrase: 'Dr. Smith will see you and ___ now.' If it still lands, ship it.
02Funny names that are also real words (Pickle, Goose, Sandwich) tend to outlast pun names.
03If the joke depends on the cat being small, do not pick the name until you know the breed's adult size.

Frequently asked

+What is a funny cat name that does not get old?

Names that describe behavior accurately rather than referencing a joke: Loaf, Goose, Pickle, Biscuit. They are funny because they are true.

+Will the vet write down a funny name?

Yes, vets have seen everything. Sir Loin, Notorious C.A.T., and Meowzart all show up on actual clinic intake forms regularly.

+Do funny names suit serious cats?

Often the funniest pairing. A regal Maine Coon called Pickle is doing comedy work just by existing.
