Cats are mysterious creatures. They go where they please, do what they want and love to be petted.
One of the most important aspects of a cat’s life is its name. This can be tough because, while it might seem like you’re naming your pet after something cute and cuddly, many times they end up with a moniker that sounds more like an exorcist than anything else.
Here are some biblical names for cats that will make sure your furry friend has a good meow-ment
