Cat names often reflect the cat’s personality or may be chosen by the owner because of their similarity to something else, such as a relative’s name.
The most popular cat names in history have changed over time, with some names staying popular for centuries while others become popular for a short period.
Names like “Mittens,” “Whiskers,” “Smudge”, and “Buttons” have all made it to the list of most popular cat names in history.
Everyone knows that when looking for a new pet’s name, it’s easier to browse by letter.
Here is a list of cat names starting with R.
I’ve tried to cover as much ground as possible when making name lists so that you have loads of ideas, drawing inspiration from celebrities, pop culture, literature, history, film, nature, and the culinary world to create this collection.
I hope you enjoy reading through these ideas as much as I enjoyed finding them.
