Garfield: for those cats with attitude 

We all know the infamous Garfield! Garfield was an orange Persian cat, known for possessing an attitude, being lazy, cynical and having a vast cat appetite. If this describes your cat, Garfield is the perfect fit.

If your cat is super positive, you might describe them as a ray of sunshine. Sunshine is the perfect ginger cat name for happy cats with infectious personalities.
