Cat Names That Start With H Considerations

When choosing a cat name that starts with H, make sure it’s something that you like. After all, your feline friend will have this moniker for the rest of their life. It’s also recommended to pick something that’s short and rolls off the tongue; not only will it be easier to say, but it will also help your cat learn their name faster. However, some pet parents like longer names that can be shortened.

Consider your newest family member’s appearance and personality as well. It’s OK if they don’t have a name yet when you bring them home—take this as an opportunity to get to know them first. For example, Houdini would suit a cat who has a talent for slipping away, while Hera would be purrfect for a regal kitty. And it probably wouldn’t make much sense to name a black cat Halo or a small feline Hagrid. Have fun and take your time with the naming process!
