When choosing the right name for the newest addition to your fluffy family, why not choose a name that represents them to a tee? Naming your fluffer Nugget because she loves munching on chicken or Oreo because she’s as cute as a cookie sounds purrfect. “What about lazy cat names, though?”, one might ask.
Worry not, laidback Lassies of the world deserve the cutest of names because they typically make for the most precious of pets.
They spend most of their time lounging on the sofa, waiting for you to come home and smother them with affection. They sleep through the night without walking on top of your head and waking you up.
Who wouldn’t want a fluffer that’s programmed to snuggle with you the moment that you come through the door of your apartment? And, to be completely honest, you don’t even understand why cats that don’t appreciate running around the apartment at 3 a.m. get such a bad reputation.
Whatever the case might be, your couch potato clearly needs a name (otherwise, you wouldn’t be here looking for inspiration). We’re happy to help with a rundown on some of the most adorable (and appropriate) lazy cat names you can imagine. Without further ado, here’s what we gathered.
Lazy cat names for your laidback Lassie
We gotta be honest with ourselves – your odds of rescuing, adopting, or purchasing a cat that doesn’t want to move a paw are pretty high. Truth be told, most cats carry the street cred that says they’re lazy, laidback, and nonchalant.
Sure, some breeds like to climb on the highest shelves and run around like headless chickens (a.k.a. the Bengals). But, most cats (regardless of the breed) prefer lounging around, napping throughout the day, and waking up to munch on paw-licking foods before going back to sleep over and over again.
Don’t let the haters and the naysayers persuade you that there’s something wrong with cats. Trust me, you don’t need a tail-wagging, stick-fetching dog to make your life better – a sleepy, snuggly kitten can do better with her eyes completely closed.
So, when you’re on the market for an appropriate moniker, don’t shy away from showing off your cat’s true colors. Whether she spends her days watching the TV or cuddling with her toys (rather than playing with them), take a look at these lazy cat names for some inspiration.

Lazy cat names for your sleepyhead
Why don’t you read a page out of Taylor Swift’s book (not literally) and name your fluffer after something you really, really love? Not only are you going to remember that thing each time you utter your cat’s name, but you are going to create a great conversation starter.

Person B: “Oh, she goes by Meredith Grey!”
Person A: “Wow, that’s creative. You love watching Grey’s Anatomy, I assume?”
And, the conversation enfolds as the two of you discover you absolutely adore cats, addicting medical dramas, and spontaneous conversations revolving around naming pets with gripping purrsonalities.
