150+ Funny Cat Names Perfect for a Pet with Personality

When you name your cat Newman—be it for the actor, producer, and philanthropist Paul (whose middle name is Leonard, btw) or for the angry postman/neighbor from Seinfeld—it's apparent you appreciate comedy. Maybe it's your kitty who is the real comedian in your house—making you giggle with her antics. Either way, you need a list of funny cat names.

Choose a cute name for your male or female kitty that reflects your love of how much she makes you laugh. You might name your girl cat after a celebrity comedian such as Tina Fey or Amy Poehler. Or, create clever kitty-sized spins on celebrity names like Kitty Purry (the actual name of singer Katy Perry's late cat) or Fleas Witherspoon.

You should also look to funny (or, punny, if you prefer) takes on historical figures for boy and girl cat names. How about Marie Antoincatte? Or Clawopatra? Human names can also make for funny names for cats: Dwight, Earl, Doug, Myrtle, or Margaret, for example.

Here's a list of 150+ funny cat names to consider for your entertaining, hilarious furball.
