Finally, lots of cat owners look to the world of sports to name their cats.

This can be a great option if your team is currently on top of the world and winning, but be warned: Players will switch teams throughout their career, so you might end up coming to regret the day you named your feline LeBron, Ronaldo, or Neymar.

When it comes to sports-influenced names, it’s safest to pick a retired superstar whose legacy is already established.
