Things to consider before choosing a name for your black cat
It's true that your black cat's name should be a choice you like. However, it is necessary to fulfill some requirements for the feline to be able to retain and know what you mean when you relate it to that word.
Your black cat's name should be short and understandable. Try to make it easier for your little partner to understand by using two-syllable, good-sounding words so there's no room for confusion.
Speaking of confusion, your feline's name shouldn't look like any other word that you regularly use, whether to name other people or pets. So this will be perfectly differentiated from the rest of your vocabulary.
Also, repeat the name many times so your furry friend knows you are identifying her. Cats can take 5-10 days to relate to the name.
Therefore, it is ideal if it is a single name and matches the personality, physical characteristics or both at the same time. Besides being a vocative that get your attention like the names for female cats in Japanese that we propose in this other article.
Finally, if you haven't decided on any of the black cat names we've presented, you can make a list of short cat names that are more comprehensive and not as specific as their fur color.
