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. 😼
