With so many “purr-fetto” wine-inspired and Italian food names for cats, it’s almost impossible to choose a favorite, isn’t it?
I love pretty much any of the coffee-related names, probably because I love Italian cafe drinks so much!
As for the wine inspired cat names, hmmm, I’d have to go with Stella Rose for a girl and Nero for a boy!
haha thats such a great list of names. incidentally my cat is named alloo that is hindi for Potato and just because he looks like a brown potato. But I guess if i get another imma name her vino. and of course the reason is obvious.
Omg this list is great haha. If
I ever got a cat I’ll know what name to give it!
These are some great names for a cat. I never thought to look at a list of Italian names for cats before. I bet this will help many new cat owners select the perfect Italian food name for cats.
These are great!! I can’t even pick a favorite. Dolcetto is really speaking to me though!!
LOL. I saw gelato and I was like, you hungry man? Haha! Thanks for the laughs!
I absolutely enjoyed reading this post. So light-hearted and interesting. Picking out your pet’s name is a big deal, but this great list helps!
Very cute ideas! My cats got names like “kitten” and “buddy” and “molly” So basic… lol
Cappucino was the name of my dog and I still missed him. My daughter is the cat lover in the family. I will show her those names.
Interesting names for cats here. I like most of them on this list. They sound more fun.
These are some pretty darn cute cate names. I will have to show them to my coworker who loves cats. I think my favorite of the lot has to be Pollo.
