Name one thing cuter than a chubby kitty. I’ll wait… It’s impossible, isn’t it? There’s something so sweet yet humorous about our big feline companions that makes them so hard to resist. But you know what makes big kitties even more adorable? Fat cat names.
A chonky kitty with a funny name – it’s the full package in our books. A plump feline bestie just means there’s more to love and cuddle, and we don’t see how that can be a bad thing. It’s like a dream come true for every cat parent out there, isn’t it?
Naming your cat is always a wild ride, but naming your fat fluff is a whole different experience. There are so many options to choose from and puns to use! Your kitty might end up with a name, surname, and a few middle names as well…
Whether you’re choosing a nickname or name for your furry friend, it’s always fun when you’re inspired by her looks. And do we find big cats inspiring? Yes, we do! They’re chubby, lovable, cuddly, and love to nap every chance they get.
When you see a giant fluffball, the only thing that can make her even better is a proper name. If you’re on a quest to find a fitting name for your not-so-fit purrer, look no further. We’re here to help you complete your mission.

She’s fluffy, loveable, and all-around adorable. Thinking of all the names you can give her can get your head spinning. But take it easy. This is an important step, so make sure you take enough time and choose something you love.
If your fluff is on the plumper side, there’s nothing wrong with giving her an appropriate name to represent her chunkiness. Without further ado, here are our top picks!

Conclusion
Having a big kitty to love, cuddle, and name gives you a lot of opportunities. Naming our beloved felines is always an interesting thing to do, especially if there’s a lot to choose from, so make sure you have fun with it!
Take your time when picking. After all, this is the name you’ll be hearing and using every day for the rest of your kitty’s life, so make sure both of you love it. It wouldn’t be a smart idea to change your mind every couple of weeks. Your kitty might end up having an identity crisis!
And listen, I know you want it to be authentic, witty, and super smart, but don’t overcomplicate it. Simple doesn’t mean it’s bad! It means you’re smart enough to make it fun and original.
Sometimes, your feline’s appearance and personality are all the inspiration you need. Especially when she’s a chunky one. Just make sure you don’t get too funny. I know it’s hard to resist, but keep in mind that this is the name you’ll have to use when you register her at the vet or talk about her with your colleagues.
Another thing you should pay attention to is the names of other pets or family members in your household. You don’t want to make your new kitty’s name too similar to theirs. It might cause confusion when you call her, only for both your cat and dog to show up.
We hope our list helped you find the perfect name for your chunky fluffball, or at least inspired you to come up with your own. We know it’s going to be a good one in the end!
