Male cat names
1. Smoky
This cat name is the perfect option for a Russian Blue or as a grey cat name as it pays tribute to their wonderfully smoky hue.
2. Oreo
If you're looking for a male cat name for a black and white cat, Oreo could be the perfect fit. Taking the name from the delicious biscuit, this is a name that'll fit your adorable kitty throughout his life.
3. Monty
This wonderfully versatile cat name suits kitties of all hues and breeds. Usually a diminutive of Montague or Montgomery, the name is actually French for 'pointy hill'! We think it's best for cats with a posh personality.
4. Pumpkin
This male cat name isn't just a winter squash, but it's also a common British term of endearment. Consider Pumpkin for a ginger cat that shares the eye-catching orange colouring.
6. Dexter
Dexter is a super popular male cat name. That's probably due to the Showtime TV series of the same name. Although the character in the show has homicidal tendencies, it makes a very adorable name for cats, and some enjoy the irony if they have pets which are particularly good at hunting.
7. Gizmo
This cute male cat name comes from the iconic 1984 film, Gremlins. If you have a fluffy cat with brown and white or tortoiseshell colouring, Gizmo would make a great name. Just don't feed them after midnight!
8. Merlin
Merlin is a mystical cat name which suits cats of all colours and breeds. The name hails from Wales and means 'sea fortress', but was popularised by the wizard that was King Arthur's guide and helper.
9. Cosmo
If your kitty is quite literally out of this world, Cosmo would make a perfect name. It's wonderfully suited as a black or white cat name, as these colours look like they've been freshly picked out of the night sky.
10. Ziggy
David Bowie fans will adore the male cat name Ziggy. Known worldwide as the glam alter ego for the iconic singer and actor, Ziggy is a name that's both fabulous and adorable, making it perfect for our four-legged friends.
