Harry Potter Cat Name Generator

Cats are one of the three animals a Hogwarts student may bring to school, alongside owls and toads, and the wizarding world has given us some memorable felines: Hermione's squashed-faced half-Kneazle Crookshanks, Filch's dust-colored spy Mrs. Norris, Minerva McGonagall's tabby Animagus form, and Mrs. Figg's houseful of cats including Tibbles, Snowy, Mr. Paws, and Tufty. Even Dolores Umbridge collected kitten plates.

Beyond canon cats, the books are packed with words that fit a cat's personality. Dignified cats suit professor names like Minerva, Severus, or Albus. Fluffy orange cats are practically obligated to be Crookshanks or Weasley. Black cats get Sirius, Nox, or Bellatrix; white cats get Hedwig or Snowy; sneaky ones get Peeves or Kreacher. Spells make excellent short, punchy call names (Nox, Accio, Lumos, Stupefy), and sweets and potions give you cozy options such as Butterbeer, Treacle, Bezoar, and Pumpkin. Cat-pun names like Hairy Pawter and Purrfessor Snape are silly, but they are what a lot of owners actually search for.

The list below groups all of these so you can pick a name that fits your cat's color, temperament, and house allegiance, whether it's a rescue kitten or a full-grown Kneazle-adjacent grump.
