Cat names
Cats are named differently from dogs and the registers show it: shorter, more absurd, far more likely to end in a vowel. The names below are the ones that appear most often in records where the animal is a cat.
Sex is recorded here only where real animals were sexed — at least 65% of a sample of five or more — so a name with too few records carries no gender rather than a guess.
