Cat names based on your favorite singers (A-I)
Everyone has a favorite singer. Maybe it’s someone you like because of their beautiful voice, or someone who always writes the best songs. Somehow, it always feels like our favorite artists know what we’re going through at the moment, and then they release a new album that describes our current life.
Now that you’ve just got a new cat, it’s such a cool idea to name them after someone who was indirectly always there for you.
Or maybe you don’t feel that connected with any particular singer, but you still think that some of them have pretty cool names. Either way, you’re in for a treat and I’m sure you’ll have The Time Of Your Life (Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes).

Final words
This Is The End… and I hope that you loved traveling through this musical wonderland with me. It was a long trip but I’m sure you got reminded of some good old hits – heck, perhaps it even got you singing out loud!
Since every time you look at your kitty, you think She Looks So Perfect (5SOS), she really deserves a name that’s gonna describe her pawesomeness well. And if you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably made a shortlist of names you liked here.
A small piece of advice, though. Take your shortlist and read it out loud, imagining your cat or even looking at her while you’re saying each potential name. And trust me, only one of these music names will feel purrfect for her.
