Fruit Food Names for Cats

Giving your feline friend a fruit name based on their character is a cute way of showing affection. And if you have both girl cats and boy cats, you may love these name pairs!

Peach and Plum: These fruit cat names could suit sweet, gentle, and loving cats. Just like how peaches and plums are soft and sweet, these names can mirror a cat’s charming, cuddly nature.

Since lemons and limes are known for their refreshing and invigorating taste, these names can reflect your felines’ lively and uplifting spirit.
