One man has gained attention for his creative approach to naming cats. As pet owners know, selecting a name for a new pet can be enjoyable. Unlike children, pets do not have strong feelings about their names and typically do not mind what they are called. For example, dogs can have names like Fred or Potatohead without any concern. Cats, however, might seem like they would care more about their names.
This man, known by the handle @UncGotThaMunchies, has an extraordinary talent for giving his cats unique names. By late 2025, he had 13 cats, and his naming style had captured the interest of many online. Some of his cats include a pair named Blackaroni and Cheese, and a unique kitten called Hersberry, which he chose because she is “berry pecial” to him. Another duo features cats named Thor and Lowkey, with Lowkey spelled just that way. He named another orange cat Midas, saying there should be no other cats like him.
People have started to reach out to Unc for help in naming their own kittens after enjoying his clever cat names. One individual shared a photo of their orange kitten and requested his assistance in finding a name. Unc responded in a video, suggesting the name O’dis, explaining how it would suit the kitten perfectly.
Another person asked for help naming their tabby kitten after being inspired by Unc’s previous videos. Unc mentioned he had a feeling a new cat would come to him needing a name. When the name was revealed, the owner commented that it was perfect.
Unc also received a request for another orange kitten, which he named Nuffin, explaining that nothing could be cuter than that kitten and that he would do anything for it. Many people enjoy watching Unc choose names for others’ cats. Commenters have praised him, calling him a positive influence.
Beyond just the names, Unc’s warm interactions with his cats have resonated with viewers. His affectionate bond with his pets is appealing, and many wonder why his cats are so loving. You can check out Unc’s videos on TikTok. What do you think makes a great cat name?
