really cool black cat names wanted
Choosing good names for black cats isn’t always the easiest thing in the world, as there seems to be extra pressure when your new feline friend has dark fur. What exactly is it that makes us so perplexed when naming a black cat? is it the color itself? after all, there is so much fear and uncertainty associated with the color of the night.
I think it’s the story of the black cat itself: there’s a lot of rhetoric associated with witchcraft and bad luck. if we also take into account the nature of the cat, an elegant and beautiful killer of small animals that somehow knows it is better than humans, then we have a unique animal that makes choosing a name a daunting task.
Hopefully, the black cat names below will make the choice a little easier for you. i wish i had a list like this about 15 years ago when i first got my shamrock, a bombay cat who lived for almost 18 years. I named her within an hour and regretted the name after a few days, although I did eventually like it. maybe that’s the way it was supposed to be all along? good luck choosing a good name for your pet that will look after you for years to come.

tips for coming up with a unique name for your black cat
- Most people only focus on single word names. If this is your strategy, try researching the history of the race you own to find something more unique and unusual related to its role throughout its history. many important and powerful people have had felines.
- two word names will definitely give you something different from the norm, as most homeowners don’t go in that direction. You can even shorten the two-word name into a one-word name if you want. still, chances are you’ll end up with something unique for your feline friend.
- Interacting with your new kitty should give you plenty of time to get some clues about a name. the way he or she acts may inspire you for a new nickname. For example, if your new pet is especially lazy, you could name it after a character like “the guy” with the big lebowski.
- The most helpful tip I’ve ever received for coming up with creative pet names is not to pick too quickly. take a few days and make a list of possibilities; don’t worry if your list has more than one page. After enough time has passed, systematically go through your list and start crossing off names until you pick your top ten favorites. now the choice must be made.

- a group of cats is called a “clowder” (although the chances of hearing this term in public are pretty unlikely).
- Have you ever wondered why cats climb trees so much? The answer is that all of a cat’s claws point in the same direction. that’s why they can’t head down as easily as they went up; however, they can go back if they wish.
- Cats developed meows to communicate with humans. you rarely hear adult cats meow to each other.
- Both humans and cats have similar areas in their brains that are responsible for emotions. dogs don’t I wonder if that helps or stops cats from being better pets. this could also explain why cats are more difficult to “handle” than other animals.
- black cats are actually considered good luck in australia and the uk.
- Cats can hear about five times better than humans. pay attention when they hear something.
- They are also natural hunters and have caused the extinction of many species of birds, mammals and reptiles. anyone with a kitten knows this to be true, as they will often bring you dead things as gifts.
I think cats are spirits that come to earth. a cat, I’m sure, could walk on a cloud without going through it.
