Disney-inspired Cat Names in Pop Culture

Featured Disney cat name

Tigger

“Glad to meet ya! Name’s Tigger. T-I-double guh-er! That spells Tigger.”

There are heaps of felines from the world of Disney — Simba from The Lion King, Sergeant Tibbs from 101 Dalmatians, Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus, and the Aristocats, just to name a few.

But if there’s one Disney cat you’d want to have as a lifelong friend, one whose positive energy would bring laughter and excitement into your life every day, it’d have to be Tigger. Christopher Robin’s tiger is a friend to Winne the Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore, and he has an infectious enthusiasm for everything life throws at him.

Tigger doesn’t just walk around like anyone else — he bounces (after all, “bouncing is what Tiggers do best!”). And no matter what sort of adventure he’s heading off to explore with his friends, Tigger is always raring to go. He’s bursting with energy, outgoing, and fun-loving, and he’s also the most loyal friend you could ever hope for.

Tigger first made an appearance in 1928’s The House at Pooh Corner, a collection of stories written by A.A. Milne. Since then, he’s gone on to star in a host of Disney productions, including The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), TV series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988-1991), and his very own The Tigger Movie (2000).

He’s picked up plenty of fans along the way, and it’s easy to see why. While he may have a high opinion of his own abilities, Tigger is never arrogant or mean. He’s loving and friendly, and committed to sharing his joy with all his friends.

At times, Tigger can be a little impetuous and maybe even downright reckless. But while his daredevil approach to life can sometimes land Tigger and his friends in trouble, things always seem to work out OK in the end.

Disney Cat Name Considerations

Choosing a cat name sounds easy in theory, but it’s often a whole lot more difficult in practice. To help you find the “pawfect” name for your kitty, remember these simple tips:

Look at their looks. It’s an obvious place to start, but consider your cat’s appearance before choosing a name. Do they look like a particular Disney character in any way?
Peruse their personality. Every cat is unique in how they act, what makes them happy, and the things they treat with utter disdain. Use this as inspiration to choose the “pawfect” name for your feline friend.
Think outside the box. The most obvious Disney cat names have already been used many times over. So instead of giving your cat the same name as thousands of other kitties around the world, why not do a deep dive to find those lovable Disney characters that are a little less mainstream?
Don’t be too silly. There are some pretty distinctive names to be found in the Disney universe, and some of them are quite complicated and ridiculous. That’s why it’s good to remember that you’ll be saying your cat’s name many times a way for the next 10-plus years, sometimes in public, so steer clear of anything too silly.
Take your time. The name you choose will follow your cat around for the rest of their life, so it’s OK to spend a little extra time getting it right. And if that means you need to find inspiration by watching a few of your Disney favorites with your pet by your side, all the better!
