Halloween is a time filled with magic, mystery, and of course, plenty of spooky vibes! For many cat lovers, the holiday’s association with black cats makes it the perfect inspiration for naming a new feline friend.

Whether you love the festive decorations, eerie atmosphere, or just the thrill of the season, giving your cat a Halloween-themed name adds a special touch of enchantment.

We’ve compiled a list of over 200+ hauntingly fun cat names that capture the spirit of Halloween. Whether you’re looking for something playful, eerie, or downright magical, you’ll find the perfect name for your spooky kitty right here!

How to Name Your Cat

When it comes to naming your cat, there are several fun approaches you can take. One popular way is to start with their appearance—maybe their fur color, texture, or patterns.

For example, a sleek black cat could be named Shadow, while a fluffy white one might suit the name Ghost.
Another option is to draw inspiration from your favorite Halloween characters, books, or movies. Names like Sabrina or Salem, for example, could be perfect for a bewitching feline.

If your cat has a quirky personality, you might want to choose a name that reflects their unique traits—something like Mischief for a playful cat or Luna for one that’s always gazing out the window.
