Featured Cat Name That Starts with F

Fawkes

Depending on whether you’re a cat-loving bookworm or a historical buff, Fawkes would be a meaningful name for your little tiger.

You may have heard of the unfortunate Guy Fawkes, a mercenary soldier who was executed in London in 1606 after being convicted of taking part in the famous, ill-fated Gunpowder Plot. The plot was an attempt to assassinate King James I, who threatened to increase the persecution of English Catholics after the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Fawkes was a staunch Catholic, and although he didn’t hatch the plot, he willingly took part.

Every year, Brits recognize Fawkes and the failed plot by lighting bonfires throughout the kingdom and shooting off fireworks, while masked children circulate among the revelers asking for "a penny for the guy.” Burning effigies of Fawkes dot neighborhoods, and the smoke-filled air on November 5th is a reminder of the treasonous event and the night of Fawkes’s arrest. Some celebrate what he tried to do, while others celebrate the fact that he failed.

Guy Fawkes is also remembered by the Guy Fawkes “Anonymous” mask from the movie, “V is for Vendetta.” No one can question his bravery or your fur ball’s derring-do antics that may remind you of him.

Lovers of the Harry Potter books may also remember Fawkes as the fierce, red-feathered phoenix that protected Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Fawkes’ bravery and special talents took center stage in the book titled “Order of the Phoenix.” His physical appearance was distinctive, with fiery red feathers, and a gold beak and talons. He disappeared and reappeared with regularity, and was the only creature in the Potter tales who was immune to the nasty Serpent of Slytherin. The phoenix saved Harry and his pals from the reptile more than once. When Dumbledore died, the bird disappeared in flames and was never seen again.

A wizard wand-maker acquired two of Fawkes’ tail feathers and inserted one in each of two wands, one of which was owned by Harry and the other by Tom Riddle, a fellow Hogwarts student who was eventually revealed to be the evil dark wizard Voldemort. The wand served Potter well, fortifying his inherent bravery in battles of wizardry. Even in death, Fawkes continued to protect those who were worthy. His name would be purrfect for a stunning red or ginger cat breed like the Red Maine Coon or Abyssinian.

Whichever historic or fictional Fawkes name you choose, you’ll likely find it will spur comments, conversations, and debates. What fun!
