The tally is out\u2014here are the most popular cat names for 2020. And I have to say it hasn\u2019t changed much over the years. I\u2019ll also admit that I\u2019ve used some of these names. Lily is a fave of many. Who knew? I thought I was being creative when I named our prissy, gentle tabby Lily. Other popular names for girl cats are Nala, Bella, Luna, Sophie, and Angel. (I have a Sophie, too.)<\/p>\n
For boy cats, people seem to like Oliver, Charlie, Leo, ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Bootsie3-300x225.jpg\")
Max, Simba, Gus, and Smokey. Yup, I\u2019ve had a Max and a Gus. How about you? What are some of the more creative names you\u2019ve come up with for your cats? We named a white odd-eye cat Winfield. I doubt that\u2019s on any list of popular cat names, but Winston is. We had a Dinah. She ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6920-300x200.jpg\")
came to us with the same name as one of our other cats, Katy, so we wanted to rename her and we decided to let her name herself. We watched for clues for a name that would fit her. We’d throw names at her, but they wouldn’t stick. Finally we realized she spent a lot of time in the kitchen with us. One day I broke into song, “Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah…” And Dinah became her name.<\/p>\n

She joined me in the bathroom as she has done every morning for her entire 11 years. She walked with me to the kitchen and begged for breakfast. Of course that was the first thing I did this morning–fix her a plate and she ate. She’s eating small amounts several times a day. At bedtime last night she refused food and seemed weaker and sicker. But this morning, a sweet surprise. After breakfast, she paid my office a brief visit, then walked slowly back to her comfortable place. I joined her there and we had a sweet petting session together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The tally is out\u2014here are the most popular cat names for 2020.
