Whether you've just welcomed a new feline friend into your life or you're preparing for their arrival, adopting a cat is quite possibly one of the best decisions you can make—and that's no exaggeration. Ree Drummond agrees! She says, "I highly recommend a cat for those of you who don’t have one. I loved them as a little girl, but then I transitioned into a very long dog phase in my life... But cats. I’ve positively fallen back in love with them. They’re intriguing, mysterious, purry, slinky, graceful, soft, affectionate… and perfect."
While choosing your new fluffy companion from all the cutest cat breeds (and stocking up on all the best cat toys and cat beds) can be a challenge in itself, finding the purr-fect name for your sweet kitty can be even more difficult. After all, you want it to fit their unique look and personality—and if you're bringing home a girl, it should also be as cute as she is! So, before you get too carried away with planning out your new cat Instagram captions, take a look at these adorable and unique girl cat names.
You can take inspiration from famous kitties in shows and movies like Marie from The Aristocats and Mittens from Bolt or go with a sweet name based on food and nature. Luckily, your pick will eventually evolve into so many nicknames that really, this is just the starting point. There are also plenty of unique names like Karma and Zephyr, as well as funny names taken from cat puns like Alley, Tabby, and Mittzy. And when you decide you love your new BFF so much that you want another, check out boy cat names and black cat names, too!
