Garfield had his time. Naming your orange cat doesn’t mean settling for the same tired citrus clichés. After all, your kitten might walk like royalty wrapped in fur or barrel through snack time like a tiny gremlin. Most orange cat names don’t match that kind of flair.

That’s why this guide skips the usual list format and leans into personality, wit, and a few surprises. Your ginger gem deserves a name with real character. Browse the categories, spot the one that clicks, and tag your pick with #MyOrangeMuse.
