Our predictions for 2025
In 2025, we're predicting that cat names in Australia will get even more creative and personal. Pop culture influences like "Luna" and "Loki" will likely stick around, thanks to their timeless charm. But we're also seeing a rise in quirky, fun names that reflect individual tastes - think food-inspired picks like Mochi or Wasabi, and tech-inspired gems such as Pixel (my personal favourite) or Zelda.
It’s clear that pet parents are looking for names that celebrate their cats’ unique personalities while also giving a nod to their own interests. Whether it’s a playful foodie vibe or a nod to a beloved fandom, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of wonderfully unique names for our feline family members.
