Have you recently adopted a Tortoiseshell, Tabby or Siamese Cat? Congratulations! These are three terrific cat breeds and an excellent choice as a pet.

But what to name your new kitten?

It can be hard to choose a name for a cat. Often times people simply choose any old name and leave it at that, but a cat is a living, breathing family member. Therefore, it is only right to put some care into choosing the right name.

When choosing a name you want it to be easy enough to say. You can try to the "front porch test" where you yell the name from the porch, because eventually you probably will have to and you want it to be easy enough to say.

And of course you can choose a name for your kitten based off of their coat color and pattern.

Another common way to choose a name is to carefully observe your new furry friend's personality and character traits.

To help you narrow down your choices, we have carefully selected the best cat names for tortoisheshell cats, tabby cats and siamese cats. We hope you find the perfect one!
