First of all congratulations on adopting a new ‘orange’ cat! You’re in for a lifetime of adventure. Naming a cat can be as challenging and interesting as naming a new baby. Most of the time we already know what we are going to call the baby if it is a boy and what if it is a girl. Some of us start thinking when the mother is pregnant. We’ve even seen some deciding the name of their kid when they are in their teens! But when it comes to naming our cat, it’s usually after deciding on adopting one or most of the time after getting it home.
Whichever stage you are in right now, we are glad that you didn’t go ahead and just name it Garfield! What could be more obvious than that? Let us help you with some popular names and naming ideas -

Are orange cats dumber? While orange cats are unique, they do come with potential health problems like any other cat. Vomiting, FLUTD or feline lower urinary tract disease, fleas, tapeworms, diarrhea, eye problems, and more. Some of these can become very severe and even life-threatening in extreme cases. The treatment costs for these can run up to thousands of dollars. An average routine vet visit can cost you anywhere between $50 to $250 and more if your cat is sick.
