Welcoming a litter of kittens into the world is a rare and wonderful experience. While you’re likely overwhelmed simply making sure that every little kitty is healthy, happy, and adjusting to life on the outside, there’s one task that won’t feel like a chore: naming the kittens. Of course, just because naming cats is perhaps the highlight of pet parenthood doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy! That’s because when you have a litter of kittens, it makes the most sense to name them all after a theme. But where to start? We can help. We’ve rounded up the most unique and clever cat names for a litter of kittens. Pick your favorite kitten name theme, then name away. Just make sure to ID tag those fur babies because little ones can be tough to tell apart!
