🐾 Why Pirate Names Are Purr-fect for Cats
Let’s face it—cats and pirates have a lot in common. Think about it:
- They both do whatever they want, whenever they want.
- They stare you down like you’re the weird one.
- They steal shiny objects with zero guilt.
- They enjoy naps. Lots of naps. Preferably in stolen spots.
So really, giving your cat a pirate name isn’t just fun—it’s kind of accurate, IMO 😼.

Alright, time for some real talk. If I had to name a crew of pirate cats (and let’s be honest, this is my dream), here’s how I’d do it:

- Sloop – The baby of the crew, tiny and always in trouble.
- Boots O’Barrel – Loves hiding in laundry and barrels alike.
Is this a normal level of thought to put into naming imaginary pirate cats? Absolutely not. But would I do it again? 100%.
