Top Disney Cat Names (99+): The Ultimate List for Your Purr-fect Sidekick
So, you’ve brought home a new cat—congrats! 🎉 Now comes the part that really matters… giving them a name worthy of their royal feline presence. If you’re like me, naming a cat is not just picking something cute and calling it a day. Nope. It’s an art form. And if you’re a Disney fan? Well, friend, you’re in the right place.
Whether your kitty is playful like Stitch or mysterious like Maleficent (you know the ones that knock everything off the table at 3 a.m.), there’s a Disney-inspired name out there that’s basically made for them. So grab your favorite snack (I vote popcorn) and let’s scroll through 99+ Disney cat names that are full of magic, nostalgia, and just a touch of sass.
Why Disney Names? (Besides the Obvious)
Let’s be real—Disney is basically the ultimate name generator for pets. The characters are iconic, the vibes are strong, and there’s something for every personality. Got a grumpy old man cat? Call him Carl. A sleek black ninja fluffball? Maybe Panthera from The Jungle Book… or, ya know, just Bagheera.
Disney names are memorable, fun to say, and 99% of the time, people instantly get the reference. And isn’t that the dream?
🐱 Famous Disney Cats (AKA The OGs)
Let’s kick things off with the feline celebrities of the Disney universe. These are the cats that actually appear in Disney shows and films—so if you’re into canon, this is your starting point.
Top Picks from Disney Cats Themselves
- Figaro (Pinocchio) – Cute, loyal, classic.
- Lucifer (Cinderella) – For the villainous fluff that secretly runs your house.
- Cheshire (Alice in Wonderland) – Mysterious and always vanishing? Say no more.
- Duchess (The Aristocats) – Classy lady vibes only.
- Thomas O’Malley (The Aristocats) – For the cool, alley-smart charmer.
- Marie (The Aristocats) – Girly, sassy, and somehow always center stage.
- Berlioz – Quiet, brooding, artsy. You know the type.
- Toulouse – Orange floof with painter energy.
- Rufus (The Rescuers) – Sweet and wise old kitty.
Bold tip: Aristocats is a goldmine for names. Seriously. If you name your cat “O’Malley the Alley Cat” and don’t instantly win over the internet, I’ll be shocked.
🎀 Disney Princess & Heroine Inspired Cat Names
If your cat struts around like they own the palace (or at least the couch), these names might just hit the royal spot.
Royalty & Main Character Energy
- Aurora – For the nap queen. 😴
- Belle – Great for book-loving humans and curious cats.

IMO, princess names work great for female cats with big personalities. Or you know… any cat, because they all act like royalty anyway.
🧙♂️ Villain Names for the Cats Who Plot Your Downfall
You know the ones. They wait until your Zoom meeting starts, then knock over a glass just to assert dominance. They deserve a name that matches their energy.

Pro tip: These names are unique without being weird. Your vet won’t mess them up, but they still feel extra special.
🧡 My Personal Faves (Because I Can’t Help Myself)
Okay, confession time. I’ve named my cats after Disney characters more than once. And honestly? Zero regrets. Here are some that either I’ve used or almost did (still salty I didn’t name my orange tabby “Simba” tbh).
- Figaro – My tuxedo cat wore it like a crown.
- Marie – Too perfect for a white fluffball.
- Raja – I had a chunky tabby who walked like a tiger. Fitting.
- Boo – Literal gremlin kitten who used to pop out of drawers.
- Lucifer – Let’s just say… the shoe fit.
FYI, don’t feel like you have to go with a “famous” name. What matters most is that you love saying it—50 times a day. :)
Final Thoughts: What’s in a (Disney) Name?
At the end of the day, your cat’s name should make you smile every time you say it. Whether it’s a princess, villain, or forgotten sidekick, picking a Disney-inspired name adds a little magic to every cuddle, zoomie, and midnight meow-fest.
And hey, if all else fails? Just name them Mickey and call it a day.
So, what’s your pick? Got a favorite from this list—or thinking of combining a few to make something totally custom? (Marie Scar? Cheshire O’Malley? The options are weirdly endless.)
Let me know what you go with—bonus points if you match your next cat to another character and make it a whole Disney duo.
Until next time, may your litter box stay clean and your cat's name be legendary. ✨🐾
