Tigger and Daisy are most popular cat names in UK

A survey commissioned by natural and raw cat food experts Natures Menu in celebration of World Cat Day yesterday (August 8),  found that Tigger is the most popular name for a male cat, whilst Daisy is the top choice for our female furry friends. 

 

It seems that cat owners could be inspired by A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh when it comes to choosing a name for their male cat. For the ladies, Daisy comes out top, just one of many human sounding names that is proving to be a hit! 

 

Celebrity cat names feature on the list with both Olivia and Meredith, Taylor Swift’s cats’ names, making it into the top 10. Elsa and Belle also appeared in the list showing that Disney film favourites continues to be as popular as ever with families.

 

Harry and Meghan both feature in the top 10 - could it be that the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan, now the Duchess of Sussex, has sparked a new kitten-naming trend. 

 

Classic cat names including Garfield and Simba are also a common choice, with Tiddles still clinging on with its claws!

 

 

Melanie Sainsbury, Veterinary Education Manager at Natures Menu, said: “It’s a lot of fun to see which names come out on top and how we are inspired by celebrities, the royals and ourselves! We love to humanise our family cats with names like Meredith, Harry and Olivia, but it’s important to remember that cats have different needs from us…although we all love a nap!

 

“On World Cat Day it’s the perfect time to ensure our cats have a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet, which is low in sugar and packed with natural ingredients. Diet really can make such a big difference, helping to keep cats in tip top condition with bright eyes, clear ears, fresh breath, shiny coat, plenty of vitality and an appropriate weight; all indicators of one healthy, well looked after feline.”

 

Natures Menu’s range of natural cat food is packed with real, human grade meat and fish, and is perfectly balanced to meet your cat’s nutritional needs. Its vet approved, complete meals are free of added sugars and flavour enhancers and contain absolutely no fillers, meat meals or meat derivatives.
