Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
Naming Your Cat
grey cat - copyright aes design T.S. Eliot wrote in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats: “The naming of cats is a difficult matter; it isn’t just one of your holiday games. At first you may think I’m as mad as a hatter, when I tell you a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES”.

I was fortunate to have many cats in my life while I was growing up. They include Tiddy Bom Boms; the name suited her personality and that of the person who named her. Tiddy as she was also known was the cat that began my fascination with more unusual cat names.

Sample of names and categories below from the cat name database - inspired by Feng Shui and Chocolate - that would make purrfectly lovely names for cats.

Feng Shui Cats

Why not give your cat a name inspired by the ancient art of Feng Shui?
Harmony - meaning - pleasing combination of elements in a whole: colour harmony; the order of the universe
Bamboo - bamboo wind chimes are excellent to help you circulate the Chi energies around your home - symbolism, perseverance and good luck
Crystal - crystals fill a home with positive energy, they can be used all around the house to deflect negative energies, hang in a window to encourage positive chi as they fill your home with rainbows.

Chocolate Cats

I never met a chocolate I didn't like. As well as tasting delicious, chocolate is loaded with antioxidants, and prompts your brain to release endorphins - or feel good hormones. Little wonder Chocolate was thought to have aphrodisiac qualities by the Aztecs. Casanova is believed to have thought of hot chocolate as the "elixir of love". Chocolate goodies are not for cats as it is poisonous in sufficient dosages. However, there is nothing to stop you giving your cat a chocolate inspired name such as: Bean, Cocoa, Fondue or Fudge.

Tip: Before naming your cat wait for a few days to study your cats personality. Could the name be standing right there in front of you?
