Instead of choosing a specific boy or girl cat name for your new kitten, you can always look at unisex cat names. These are especially handy if you have a very young rescue kitten or want to decide on a name before you decide whether you are going to adopt (or buy) a male or female cat.
10 favourite unisex cat names are:
Allegro — Meaning “brisk speed” or “performed at brisk speed”; “Allegro” is a wonderful name for your Classical music-loving cat or that feline that is always ready to strike at your ankles!
Bubbles — “Bubbles” is a lovable character from the Disney film Finding Nemo that definitely made this name a lot more popular than it once was. A bright yellow tang fish; it’s the perfect name for your bright ginger or orange kitty.
Cappuccino — Not just a yummy way of getting your morning caffeine, “Cappuccino” is the perfect name for a coffee-lover’s cat!
Cheetah — We know every house cat is a big cat by heart, and what better way to show their wild side than with a name like Cheetah (or Leo/Lion)
Cider — If your cat has golden eyes — just like this this drink — Cider might just be the unisex name you’ve been looking for.
Ginger — An evergreen favourite, “Ginger” is probably the first name which comes to mind when you get a ginger-coloured kitten!
Flame — More mysterious than “Ginger”; “Flame” evokes the mystery of felines. Perfect for a dark ginger or very feisty cat.
Mist/Misty — “Misty” evokes quite the opposite of “Flame” and is perfect for white or light grey cats.
Puddles — A cute name for a tortoiseshell or calico cat who literally look as if they’ve been playing in some puddles after the rain!
Snowflake — Another name for a white cat; “Snowflake” and “Snowy” are popular for obvious reasons as they evoke the bright white of virgin snow.
10 more unique unisex cat names are:
Aqua — As “Aqua” means “water”, it is the perfect name for a cat with blue eyes. (Just remember that all kittens are born with blue eyes and they only change after a few weeks!)
Cinder — Also perfect for a grey or even a black cat, “Cinder” can also be used as a shortened version of “Cinderella”.
Eden — Recalling the Garden of Eden, a paradise, Eden has become a beautiful name that can be used as a unisex cat name as well. And, let’s face it, cat’s are so beautiful they do look as if they escaped paradise!
Gemini — “Gemini” means “twins” and is also the name of one of the constellations and star signs of the zodiac.
Phantom — Perfect for a white or light grey cat; “Phantom” can recall a thin mist or even the enigmatic Phantom of the Opera.
Speckle — Another great name for a tortoiseshell or calico cat!
Terabyte — Feeling like letting your inner geek out? Then Terabyte may just be the cat name to choose. If you have a pair of cats, you can always opt for “Terabyte” and “Gigabyte”.
Vanilla — The classic flavour for ice cream and steamed milk; “Vanilla” is a cute name for your sweet, new kitty cat!
Whisper — A great name for a furry-footed feline that doesn’t make a noise as they hunt their catnip toys.
YinYang — A good choice for a black and white cat, the YinYang is a concept from Chinese philosophy.
