Dutch cat owners loved these names in 2024: Did your pet’s name make the list?

The purrfect names 😸

Dutch cat owners are creative, unique and hiss-terical when it comes to naming their furry friends (some more than others 👀). 

From classic names to obscure ones, this list of 2024’s most popular cat names might inspire you to adopt a new four-legged dictator.

What are the most popular names?

According to AD, pet insurer Figo surveyed 35,000 cat servants — I mean, owners — and found that Simba won the crown for most popular cat name in 2024. 🦁

Luna was a close second, prowling right behind Simba. 🐾

Here are the rest of the fabulous feline frontrunners: 

  • Nala
  • Coco
  • Milo
  • Bella

    Turns out, Dutch pet parents really enjoy The Lion King. 🥹

    The most paw-culiar cat names

    Some cat owners were a little more… out of the box when naming their kitties. 

    Here are the most tail-raising names from the study:

    • Peukie
    • Drumstick
    • Gabber
    • Hello Kitty 
    • Fissa
    • Jackpot
    • Pannenkoek
    • Ratatoetje
    • Fatoe
    • Habiba

    Remember: the more unique the name, the more legendary the pet. 😼
