152 Creative Name Ideas for Black-and-White Cats
Maybe your new black-and-white cat saunters into the room like he's wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie fundraiser. Or is she always eyeing you as if she's the judge and you're accused of withholding snacks? Whatever your new kitten's personality, their sophisticated black-and-white coat may offer you the best clues for picking out the perfect name.
Classic black-and-white coloring lends itself to many categories of inspiration. For instance, if your new family member is mostly black with a white chest, he's got what's generally known as a "tuxedo" effect. Which might lead you to dapper names like Fred Astaire or Carey Grant. If your new feline friend has a body of one color and feet in the contrasting hue, capitalize on her apparent footwear with a name like Boots, Socks, or Chuck Taylor.
Does your two-tone kitty have distinctive stripes or spots? Maybe a name like Zebra or Domino will do. Or you could honor a favorite movie character with black-and-white themed names like Cruella, Snoopy, or Matrix.
There are plenty of ideas to choose from when you use your new cat's high-contrast coloring as inspiration for a name you'll call again and again when it's dinner time.
Now, let's find a fitting name for your new black-and-white feline companion.
