Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on November 25, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Between litter training and curbing a kitten's insatiable urge to scratch the furniture, adopting a cat comes with many challenges. Not least of them is the challenge of choosing a name. Every year, the pet care website Rover compiles a list of popular cat names, the perfect resource for picking an appropriate designation for a new furry companion. In 2021, that list included the classics — Bella, Milo, Charlie, Max — but also a number of names inspired by trending celebrities, TV shows, Olympic athletes, and even coronavirus and cryptocurrency (welcome to the world, little Bitcoins!).
