Choosing a Unique Boy Cat Name by Appearance
Picking your cat's name based on the way he looks is a great idea because he will not change that much over the years. If he is black with white spots, he will always be black with white spots.
This does not mean you have to live with average or boring names, either. Look for some unusual characteristic on your cat - a uniquely shaped spot, a strange color combination, or even eye color. If something about the way your cat looks suggests a name you like, don't be afraid to use it.

Be Sure You Like Your Cat's Name
Remember, the name you give your adorable kitten will be his for a lifetime. Cats learn and respond to their names in a short period of time. Changing the name when your kitten is 6 months old because you have decided that Bouncer is really Diablo will cause him confusion. Give your boy cat a name you love and enjoy calling him by that name for a lifetime.
