This list ought to have you thinking for a while… I’ve been accumulating it for years.
I like two syllable names for cats. I think it helps them learn their names, and it helps them understand you when you call them. (Of course, that’s all conjecture) I also like names that end in the long e sound.

The best name I’ve ever heard for a cat comes from Joanne Embury. Her cat is named Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich. It’s worth it to try to see a pic of the Grand Duke too. Stunning.
The next best name comes from Ray-and Cindi Bell: Itty Bitty Kitty
