## How to Pick the Purr-fect Funny Cat Name

A great funny cat name follows three rules:

1. **Say it out loud at the vet.** If you can't say "Kevin, we're here for your shots" without laughing, it's a winner.
2. **Keep it shoutable.** You'll yell it at 3am when he's on the counter. Two syllables max is ideal.
3. **Match the crime to the name.** A dignified name on a chaotic cat is comedy gold — lean into the mismatch.
