There are so many tastes of spices and herbs from sweet to bitter to sour, it is not hard to find a name that suits a cat’s character using herb names for cats.
Herb names for cats and spice names for cats are just like herbs and spices themselves; they are so varied that they can be great when used right. If you want to name your kitty with a name that suits its character or its physical traits such as its color, these names are just perfect.
Did you know that although 80,000 out of 350,000 plant species are edible, we actively cultivate only about 150 species for human consumption and as animal feed? On top of that only 30 of those 150 species constitute 95% of our calories and proteins. Shocking, right?
We are using so little of what nature has to offer us but still we are trying increase our yields with chemicals killing the soil and the animals. But this is not the issue here. (As a farmer I can’t hold myself whenever I see a plant name. Sorry not sorry.)
In my opinion categorizing herb names for cats or spice names for cats is not logical. While some plants indeed have genders or flowers or parts with genders such as juniper shrub which has male and female plants, the name juniper includes both so a gender distinction with the plant names does not make sense at all. Therefore I did not categorize spice and herb names for cats.
Without further ado, here is an amazing list that surely includes a name that suits your new friend.

Conclusion
Probably your cat will sometimes drive you mad but for the vast majority of time it is a blessing that will take away all the stress you bring home after a hard day. Just like the feeling good meal gives you when you are starving, your kitty will make you enjoy life by just being there. You will hear it purr, you will sense it follow your moves and be there for you for the good and bad days.
Just don’t forget to take it to a vet regularly to prevent any health issue that can be taken care of before it is too late, groom it in accordance with its needs, keep its bowls clean to prevent cat acne issues and give it at least its basic needs but the most important thing is give it the love it deserves!
