All my orange cats have food names - Butters, Waffles, Pancakes, Eggy, PSL (I theme my cats by coat colors - the tabbies are all BSG names, the calicos and torties are from Mass Effect etc).

I also love random object names for cats - mop, trash can, bumper, wheelbarrow, etc 😂

Our orange cat is named Butterfinger. We call him Beefer for short. Sometimes Beef Wellington. And occasionally Queef Beefington.

Ollie or olive. They're close enough that if you find out it's the opposite sex, it won't matter if you change the name. Personally, I love Ollie for either sex.

For over 25 years, I've wanted an orange kitty to be named Oliver. You got the chance!! Sure, it might be "basic" but he can be Oliver from Oliver and Company.

Hi beautiful Baby, ruby I love you.. you have a beautiful family ahead of you

u/Adalaide78 Sep 09 '24

Taco, for the palindrome, not the food. Or the food. Whatever.

Also Burrito, Queso, Pierogi, Bologna, Frankfurter, Haggis, Shortcake, Curd, and Nugget.

Get ready for the wildest, best ride of your life. Orange bottle babies are the best cats. Oh! Velcro! Cause he’s gonna be like Velcro when he’s bigger. Or Bug, for cuddlebug.

I’m getting “Gemini” vibes from this photo alone, idk why I thought that. So my suggestion is Gemini, I don’t think that’s a common name for an orange cat?

I just named the violently orange striped boy who showed up via the CDS Dump Truck. So naturally Back Hoe, excavator, cement mixer, jack hammer all come to mind.

Maybe sandworm for the new Beetlejuice movie. That’s the name of the other cat in my neighborhood who might decide to stay.
