Mythical Cat Names – Creative Names from Mythology
by Jessi Larson
Hello cat lovers! I’m thinking you’re here to find a name for your new cat. (Just a guess, considering our site is called Find Cat Names.)
We’ve got hundreds of great ideas. Many of our favorites are inspired by mythology, so that led us to create this extensive list of names we’re excited to share.
What is it about a mythical cat name that’s so appealing? For one, they’re creative. Some people prefer traditional names like Bella or Boots. But names inspired by mythology are exotic and unique. You likely won’t find another cat with the same name.
It’s also great if you’re a fan of mythology and like reading classic tales or watching movies that involve these characters.
