According to the most recent American Pet Products Association's National Pet Owners Survey, almost half of US households own a cat. When you're getting a cat there's a lot to consider, including what to name it. If you're looking for pet name inspiration, the Healthy Paws Pet and Insurance Foundation created a list of the 20 most popular cat names in 2017. Some of the most popular female names included Stella, Daisy, and Gracie. For males owners chose names like Leo, Milo, Max, and Oscar.
