      My cat is named Luna. She is 16 years old. She looked moon colored as a kitten. I was surprised how popular the name is.
      I didn't know that there was a popular black anime cat named Luna.
      I have actually met more dogs named Luna than cats though.

      My cat is called Luna! I teared up when I got through to the end of your video... She's a tuxedo but has a crescent moon shape on her chest. I named her that because I love the moon in general, it's always something I look for when it's going through the phases and taking photos of it, then lastly Luna from Harry Potter. ☺

I also wanted to get a microchip for her, but was told she already had one (the rescue shelter I got her from told me she didn’t have one). Turns out she had and I was able to track the original shelter that had implanted it. Where we initially thought she was a 2 year old male, we learned she was a 6 year old female and had given birth to a litter at this shelter. What a life she led!!!

      One of my cats had a similar mix-up! Our Harley was initially thought to be a female, then the vet said Harley was a hermaphrodite because of having ambiguous genitalia. We later found out he was male when the time came for him to be neutered and they also did a spay incision to make sure he didn’t have any female organs lurking around in there too. Thank the gods Harley is a gender-neutral name, because it took us a month just to quit referring to him as “she!”

    I like how on that list are 4 names from Harry Potter, 3 taking the very top! Molly like Molly Weasley on the 19th place is a bit far, but then Lily as 3rd like Lily Potter nee Evans, Bella as 2nd like Bellatrix Lestrange (she was called Bella there by Voldy & death eaters and her sister Narcissa) and of course Luna as 1st like Luna Lovegood. The only one I'm missing is Minnie like Minerva McGonagall, but you cannot have everything. 😂 It's nice to see HP generation growing up and naming their cats. 😻

    My bff named one of her cats Phoebe. I had a Sassy & Angel. Sassy was most likely more popular when I was little due to the Homeward Bound movies having been released during that time. I also wanted a cat with that as her name already because of the Sassy from those movies regardless of the breed & I found her! 😻 Maybe it'll make a comeback in the future. Angel was a ferral born kitten that I believed God hand picked for us to give a loving home to just six years after we adopted Sassy. Both of them are now sadly gone.

    19: I was almost sure he was gonna say Molly is a nickname for MDMA. Good for a cat who's fur feels so good when you per her or if she likes to roll around on the floor.
    Out of my two female cats 1 sorta made the list.But the only sort of nick name I have for my cat Lucile is to say it with a lisp as is "Luthile". When we rescued her she had a cleft lip and no front teeth. So we make fun of how she would say it if she could talk.
    My other female cart has a very unique name that I'm sure no one else has. She was just a 6 week old abandoned kitten when we rescued her. Her name is Pu'uiki. We found her behind our neighborhood where Cane Haul rd meets Pu'uiki rd. I thought that sounded mo bettah than "Cane Haul" for a cat.

She was a street cat that, after her litter and spaying, was taken to my grandparents farm. They ended up with a small herd of cats. Always fed some kibble every day, but they sure kept the property clear of vermin. She lived a long happy life there and I'll never forget her.

    The cats throughout my life have been named thus:
    1. My childhood cat was named Dinah, after the song “I’ve Been Working On the Railroad.”
    2. My first cat as an adult was Angel, because she was such a sweetie.
    3. Harley, named for his loud purr that sounded, in my husband’s words, “like a Harley-Davidson stick in neutral.”
    4. Raven, named this because he’s a black cat. The kids tried to name him Toothless after the dragon because he looked and acted just like Toothless, but it didn’t stick.
    5. Chessie, named after the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad mascot from their passenger heyday.
    6. Eragon, named by my older daughter for his copper eyes like those of the dragon.
    Can you tell our family has a creative streak where pets’ names are concerned?

    How about a list of non people names that are also gender neutral. My husband and I have about 25+ feral cats and kittens that we’ve been feeding and we have a new one in the group that looks to be about 6-8 weeks old. Unfortunately our apartment complex seems to be a dumping ground for cats and kittens. The newest one is young enough though that my husband and I are trying to gain its trust so we can take it in for our own but so far we can’t get close enough to see if it’s a boy or girl, although I suspect a girl. I found her outside playing with my male cat who got out one day so I’m hoping it won’t take long before she wants to come inside. Our other cat was found as a very sick malnourished kitten about 3 almost 4 years ago as well. We brought him home and took him to the vet the next Monday (found on a Saturday night) and got him on meds for 2 infected eyes and an upper respiratory infection. He was exactly 2 pounds and the vet guessed he was about 6-8 weeks old as well.
