Ginger cat names you’ll love straightaway
Ginger: perfect for a simple or spicy cat
This one might seem a bit obvious, but we love how simple it is. For a chilled, cool cat, Ginger might just be the perfect name to describe them. If you love food-related cat names, remember that Ginger is a spice as well, making it the ideal match!
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.
However, we don’t advise your feline friend to eat lasagne or drink coffee like Garfield!
