From Gothic Rock To Halloween, Cat Owners Talk About The Inspiration Behind Their Spooky Cat Names

As cat people, it is our moral duty and civic responsibility to talk about our cats 24/7. Be it with strangers, colleagues, or friends - there's always an opportunity to talk about your cat, someone else's cat, ask for cat advice, give cat advice, and so on. In no time, we're whipping out our phones to show pictures of our cats, telling their origin stories, the inspiration behind their names, and talking about their behavior that everyone finds disturbing but we think is ~quirky~. 

You guys know we love a good thread about cat names and that's exactly what we have in store for you today. We recently stumbled upon a thread where people with black cats were asked to share their spooky names and the ideas behind them. We scrolled through the thread and packed the best into this article. Beware, the following content includes lots of voids. Happy spooky scrolling!
