If you’re looking for some fantastic Alaskan cat names, get ready to be wowed!

Alaska, the frozen tundra where certain breeds of dogs and Native American tribes thrive.

It’s not really a place for cats, but if you are enthralled by the mystique of the barren ice fields, then you may want to name your cat after some Alaskan terms.

Today we have for you symbolism associated with Alaska, certain words and imagery as well as some good old fashioned adjectives to match his or her appearance.

We’ve rounded up 60 of the most beautiful ideas inspired by America’s coldest state!

With plenty for both girls and boys, I’m willing to bed you’ll find the perfect idea below.
