Hello, my dear cat parents. Want to find a special name for your grey/gray cat(or kitten)? 

No matter if the kitten is adopted or born, the first thing you need to do is choose a cute-sounding name for him/her. The good thing is, we are here to help you out in your endeavours.

A lot of cat parents (like you) prefer to name their new cats and kittens after their cots’ colours. And if you have a grey kitten then you are at the right place, at the right time. 

So, here are the Grey Cat Names for Male and Female Cats with meanings. Keep reading… 

How to Name a Grey Cat? 

Obviously, if you are here then it’s pretty clear tha you want to name your feline friend after her grey coat. However, it’s not necessary. Many people name their cats based on the other characteristics of their personalities such as the colour of their eyes, the length and radiance of their hair, and their nature on other animals. Or they might dry something completely different and give a funny name or a name from movies to their cats.

So, there can be different approaches choose a name for grey cats too. However, in this read, I primarily focus on the names based on the grey colour of the coat of your cat.
