Cat names from Aristocats

Who doesn’t know the Disney movie “The Aristocats”?

It tells the story of a group of cats who live in Paris and have all kinds of adventures. While “Duchesse” and her kittens are often in the spotlight, there are several other lovable characters who make the movie so special: “Swingy,” “Hit Cat,” “Peppo,” “Billy Boss,” and “Shun Gon.” 

“Swingy,” also known as “Scat Cat,” leads a jazz band. He is laid-back, loves music, and has his own unique style. A perfect name for a tomcat who likes to be the center of attention and has a special charisma.

“Hit Cat” is the name of the smart guitarist in Scat Cat’s band. “Hit Cat” is clever and always ready for a new adventure. Wouldn’t that be the perfect name for a cat who has a bit of mischief in his blood and is curious to explore the world?

 “Peppo,” the Italian tomcat, plays bass guitar in the band. “Peppo” has a big heart and loves to help his friends. A wonderful name for a friendly, sociable cat who likes to be loud from time to time.

“Billy Boss” is a Russian cat who plays the cello. He is robust and has a calming presence. Ideal for a furry friend who is strong and calm and radiates serenity.

Not to forget “Shun Gon,” the Chinese tomcat—the band’s drummer! “Shun Gon” is nimble, agile, and full of energy: a cat name that perfectly suits a lively, playful house cat.

Other names from Aristocats 

But it’s not just felines who make an appearance in Aristocats. There are other characters who make this Disney film unforgettable:

Amelia and Abigail, the two British goose sisters, bring a lot of fun to the story with their cheerful, somewhat clumsy manner. These names are perfect for cats who like to play together and cause chaos.

“Fou-Fou” is Madame Bonfamille’s loyal horse. “Fou-Fou” is always there when he is needed. A great cat name for kitties who are loyal and loving. 

“Roquefort” is the name of the brave little mouse who stands by the Aristocats. “Roquefort” may be small, but he is very clever. That would be a fitting name for a curious and intelligent cat, wouldn’t it?

‘Napoleon’ and “Lafayette” are two inseparable dogs who form a real team.  “Napoleon” is the leader, ‘Lafayette’ is the slightly scatterbrained sidekick – ideal for two felines who belong together or simply have a strong bond!

Not to forget the two-legged characters in Aristocats: “Edgar,” the butler who tries to get rid of the Aristocats. “Edgar” is clever but greedy. A funny, ironic name for a cat with a mischievous streak?

 “George” is the old friend of “Madame Bonfamille.” He is lovable and a little forgetful. That would be a name for a gentle and warm-hearted tomcat.

And “Madame Bonfamille,” the elegant and generous owner of the Aristocats. She loves her cats more than anything! “Madame Bonfamille” is a noble name for a cat who likes to be pampered.

Which Aristocats name suits your cat?

Are you a cat lover and have a soft spot for Disney’s “The Aristocats”?

This charming story takes us back to Paris in the 1910s and tells the tale of an aristocratic cat family and their friends. In addition to the main characters, there are many delightful characters. Each of these characters brings their own personality to the story.

Which of these personalities do you think best suits your cat? Which character is most similar to your cat in terms of their characteristics? And which cat name best highlights your kitty’s individual characteristics? 

Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse—the kittens

Do you love your cat like a member of the family? Are you wondering which cat name suits her best?

Perhaps you’ll be inspired by the adorable kittens from the movie “The Aristocats”: “Berlioz,” the musical tomcat who lives for playing the piano; “Marie,” the playful kitten with the pink bow; or “Toulouse,” the artistic tomcat who loves to paint and is adventurous.

Duchesse – the cat mom

If you have a cat and are thinking about giving her a name that reflects her grace and elegance, “Duchesse” could be the right cat name for her.

The name comes from the famous Disney movie “The Aristocats,” in which “Duchesse” is the loving and caring cat mom of three adorable kittens. “Duchesse” exudes grace and style. Isn’t that exactly what we love so much about our velvet-pawed friends?   

Tom – the stray cat

Do you occasionally take in a stray cat and are thinking about giving it a suitable name? “Tom” could be a good choice! 

This name is timeless and has a certain casualness that suits a freedom-loving furry friend. “Tom” is also reminiscent of the famous classic cartoon cat who loves to play pranks and have adventures.

Tom the cat was created by William Hannah and Joseph Barbera, the founders of the well-known animation studio “Hanna-Barbera.” Tom made his debut in 1940 in the popular cartoon series “Tom and Jerry.” Even though Jerry often makes Tom look old, “Tom” is a name that belongs to an extremely determined cat!  

Swingy, Hit Cat & Co – the cat band members

Perhaps “Swingy” or “Hit Cat” could be interesting alternatives for cat names?

These names come from the well-known Disney film “The Aristocats,” where cats with these names are part of a cool cat band:

‘Swingy’ is the cat who has rhythm in her blood. She is playful and musical, and wherever she appears, a good mood ensues.

And “Hit Cat” is the cool tomcat who rules the microphone. The “hit” in his name—a song that is extremely successful because it appeals to many—shows his ability to captivate audiences with his voice and land hits with his songs.

Does your powerful-voiced tomcat also get applause when he serenades you at night?
