Did you know that there’s no such thing as a white cat breed?
Just about any breed can end up with an all-white coat if it has a certain dominant gene (the W gene, as it’s appropriately called).
I thought that was an interesting tidbit to share with you! Now, let’s take a look at our favorite white cat names for males, shall we?
