Since Wendy and I are from the Great Lakes State, I decided to put together a list of Michigan-themed cat names to add to our growing collection of name ideas. We Michiganders are proud of our beautiful state, so I thought it would be a great motif for a beautiful and proud cat.
From the bottom of the mitten to the tippy top of the Upper Peninsula, there are all kinds of quintessentially Michigan things that lend themselves to purrfect pet names. People, landmarks, breweries, products, towns, lakes – I tried to include everything I could think of that made me think Michigan.
Of course no list is complete without additional input, and there are many, MANY more ideas that could be added to this one. Are you from Michigan, or do you like to vacation here? What are some of your favorite things to see and do in Michigan?
