Ah, yes, Robert. (Can I call you, “Bob?” It is such a noble name)

Anyway, Bob, you’ve brought home a furry bundle of joy to rule your home, but what do you name your new militant little friend?

    Chairman Meow believes this is the best cat name in the NFL. Enough said.
  • Frostee Rucker – DT, Arizona Cardinals
    Perfect for a white cat, or one with with a white face.
  • Captain Munnerlyn – KR, Minnesota Vikings
    A name that shows authority. Great for a born feline leader.
  • Bacarri Rambo, SS, Buffalo Bills
    Strong name for a cat skilled in survival, hunting, and guerrilla warfare.
  • Zoltan Mesko – P, Cincinatti Bengals
    If you lived through the 1980’s, you may remember Zoltan from the movie Big? Since cats appreciate irony, perhaps this would be good name for a very small kitty?
  • Richie Incognito, C, Dolphins
    Perfect name for black cat, or cat that enjoys hiding or sneaking around a lot.
