Best 500+ Badass and Tough Cat Names For Male And Female Kitties

Cats are famous for having attitude.

Our furry friends live life strictly on their own terms, without worrying about any so-called “rules” we humans may like them to follow.

If your cat doesn’t want to do something, they won’t do it – it’s as simple as that.

In other words, cats are badass!

So, if you have recently acquired a new kitty, giving them a badass name is a perfect way to honor just how rebellious and feisty cats are.

To help you choose, we have compiled a list of our top 500+ badass, tough, and mean cat names below. Our list includes stoner, gangster, and villain names, too, so your cat will have the baddest name on the block!

Badass Male Cat Names

For thousands of years, male cats have had to be tough. In order to survive, these bad boys had to patrol their territory and scare off any feline intruders with their claws at the ready.

Regardless, giving your male cat a badass name is a great way to make sure he commands respect from all whom he meets!
