From the female space cat names, I really love Nebula! Maybe because we’re a Guardians of the Galaxy fan.
Phoebe is a lovely choice, too, especially if you loved Charmed! If you’re looking for black cat name inspired by outer space, we like Umbra and Eclipse.
Conclusion
While you won’t find many cats in space just yet, one day that could all change.
With new technology coming out every day, it could only be a matter of time before we’re heading off to new planets with our feline friends in tow.
In the meantime, though, these space cat names are as close to as out-of-this-world as our kitties will get.
We hope you found one that you love!
