Congratulations on your new feline friend who happens to be cousins with lions. Now it is time to name it. Let’s pick one of the lion names for cats?
Naming your little lion or lioness with one of the lion names for cats is only appropriate because cats show in every opportunity that they are little lions or lioness and they are the bosses. Just like lions are the kings of the jungle cats are the kings or queens of the houses. We think that we have cats but in reality they have humans. They use us like servants don’t they? We even clean their litter boxes or feces to be exact. You don’t believe me? Try to command your cat… Trust me, it understands you but just doesn’t care.
Since there are so many amazing lion names for cats to choose from, I categorized them for your convenience. These cat names range from mythology to African names to famous lions and lioness on T.V. so be ready for some great lion cat names.
An advice before you start reading the list! Note the names you like as you go and compare the names after you finish the list to pick your favorite. Seeing your favorite names all in one list will help you decide whichever you like best. Also, if more than one person will decide what the name will be, keep your individual lists and compare the lists for common names in the end to reach a consensus rather than arguing what the name will be.
