There are so many reasons to choose a fall-themed cat name. The most obvious? Your cat’s birthday or gotcha day is during the autumn season. However, you can select a fall-focused name for any reason you want. Perhaps your birthday is in the fall or the season is your favorite. The back-to-school sales can make fall feel more like a fresh start than January 1, even if you closed the book on your academic career ages ago. You may look forward to the changing leaves, cozy vibes, and pumpkin spice all year.
Regardless of your motivation, you have many options for fall names for cats. From spooky to cute yet classic and flavorful offerings in between, these autumn-inspired monikers make excellent choices.

Takeaway
Whether you adopted your cat in the fall or love the season of change, opting for an autumn-inspired name can be fun. You might choose one inspired by a holiday, such as Mischief for Halloween or Turkey after the quintessential Thanksgiving protein. More classic ones, like Shadow, Cozy, or Pine Cone, also fit the bill. The (Midnight) sky is truly the limit.
Once you’ve named your cat, make the new moniker official. Engrave your cat’s name on a tag on their collar to help increase the odds of a happy reunion if you get separated. The vet will also need to know for their records.
