Picking a Name for Your Jedi-(or Sith)-In-Training Feline

Your furbaby probably won’t be mastering a lightsaber any time soon, but if they seem to possess an otherworldly, force-like power that makes you give in to all their wants, a Star Wars cat name couldn’t be more apt.

Whether your feline is as feisty as a Sith or as kind-hearted as a Jedi, there are tons of fun Star Wars-inspired names to choose from. In doing so, you’ll also be paying homage to your love for the galactic franchise.

When picking out a name for your furbaby, make sure it’s a name that you’re not afraid to say aloud. Naming your extra-fluffy kitten “Darth Vader” might be hilarious in the comfort of your home; it might become utterly embarrassing at a veterinarian’s office if you’re not exactly open with your love for Star Wars.

May the force be with you. Always.
