Cats can be a huge part of your life. They’re cute, cuddly, and an excellent companion for any type of situation.
But they also have the ability to scare the crap out of you when they don’t want to do something that we ask them to!
It’s times like these where it would be nice if we could give our cat a name that is spooky-sounding so that way when he hisses at us or tries to scratch us, we’ll know why.
Here are some possible names in case your furry friend has been getting on your nerves lately.
