== Notes ==
http://www.babynames.com/Names/Pets/ :


P.S. If your favorite cat name is not here yet, please put it in wherever you like in the list,
rather than deleting everyone elses cat names.

Notification: This is a non-threatening article, that everyone is equally qualified to add to,
and as such, if left to grow, this article could be a CAT-alyst for many hesitant users to sign up, and begin their wiki-editing.

This list is not CAT-egorized by gender, or by country, or by any other CAT-egorization, because any cat anywhere can have any name.

Also, with the input of all cat lovers on Misplaced Pages, this article has the potential to become the defacto standard of popular cat names.

As to Style, please keep the list entries real simple, just a star a space and a cat name, to keep it easy for children to work on, since they are the people who name most cats.
