Tips for naming your Calico cat

When it comes to naming your Calico, feel free to draw influence from their one-of-a-kind appearance since that is what sets them apart from other cats in the first place. Names that are influenced by their orange markings, like Pumpkin or Copper are always a great option.

You can even go with fiery monikers, like Ember or Blaze. Cute names like Stripes, Patches, Tiger, Simba and Tigger are also amazing options for Calicos because they pay tribute to their stunning fur patterns. Another popular idea is to shorten the word “Calico” and call your cat Cali or Cal.

However, no matter what you end up choosing, all that’ll matter to your kitten is that you love them. So try not to put too much pressure on yourself and just go with whatever feels right.
