If You're Getting a Cat, These Food Names for Your Pet Are a Must

Cats can be notoriously picky eaters — unless, of course, they’re stealing food off your plate. (Seriously, what gives?) Whether they turn their nose up at everything but the freshest salmon or they eat anything in sight, naming your kitty after a food is always a good idea: Like cat puns and cat jokes, food names for cats are both funny and cute.

If you have an orange chonk with only one brain cell, name him Nacho. If your kitty is a fluffy white princess, name her Whipped Cream. If your cat acts particularly sweet (or particularly salty), use that as naming inspiration. And once you've chosen a name, don't forget to use a cat Instagram caption to show off your new family member!

From fish to fruit to snacks and desserts, we've left no grocery list unturned in compiling the best food-themed girl and boy cat names.
