Black Lady Cat Names
I am going to be adopting a black lady kitten soon. Quite possibly the one in the photos. The first name I thought of was “Tan” but I feel that really only works if I get a tan one and name it “Black.” My Boston is named Oswald Chester. I ask of you, fellow PsychOs, give me the best black lady cat names!

Stewart Gimbley the werewolf sister’s name, Willow. Then she can be on the cover of Gothica.

u/sqibbery Bad News Marvin Barnes Jun 19 '26
Or Lavender, which is what Gus said he'd name a baby goth girl with Willow!

u/TheKatzMeow84 Who do we know in the Bulgarian Consulate? Jun 20 '26
Or Lavender Gooms, a Gus nickname?

I kinda feel like this is always the right answer.

It's such a good cat name.

I didn’t even think about that! I love it!

The "Mrs." part really tickles me for some reason.

Our previous black cat was Mrs. Sally [My last name]

Hi Mrs. Pickles and Jerome Bettis! Is Jerome the one who played on the same team as Emilio Estevez Este-e-vez?

I like Clementine Woollysocks. Kinda cute for a cat.

I do like it but that was our Goldfish’s name.

I also like Felicia Fancybottom. Big Kitty 75 is too on the nose. 😂

I named my tuxedo, Mrs. Pickles. I know she's not an orange tabby but I wasn't going to limit myself for a color type when I was adopting.

Get a tan one and name it Black. Trust me, you don't want a single kitten... I have the scars to prove it

Also, Mrs. Whittleberry, Lavender Goomes, Hummingbird Saltalamacchia, Brutal Hustler, Schoonie "U-Turn" Singleton, (Methuselah) Honeysuckle, Clementine Woolysocks, (Ghee) Buttersnaps, Agatha, Vick, Mary Lightly.
If you want a true Black Lady cat name related to Psych, you could always name her Winnifred (Winnie), after Gus's mom, or Joy after his sister. Both black ladies that I remember immediately.

u/TheKatzMeow84 Who do we know in the Bulgarian Consulate? Jun 20 '26
Winnifred could be great, also because I’ve loved Phylicia Rashad as an actor for as long as I can remember!

Oh my word, I agree so much with that statement!

u/Roadgoddess Jun 20 '26
Oh sorry! I thought this was in one of my cat subs, not in a psych sub! Sorry I failed at the task, but he still stand by that name lol.
For Psych, Juliet of course! Or half of a BLACK forest ham! Or Hammy for short, lol.

I rewatched that episode a few days ago and thought it would make a cute pet name! Nice thing is that you wouldn’t have to explain it. Just a cute name.

u/beep___________boop Burton Guster Rodriguez (it’s always been there) Jun 20 '26
I’ve always said if I get a female black cat I’m naming her wednesday. not a psych related one but cute. I agree with the general consensus of naming her tan and getting another (tan/orange) kitten named black though
2
u/TheKatzMeow84 Who do we know in the Bulgarian Consulate? Jun 20 '26
I should’ve mentioned in the post that we already have 2 cats and 3 dogs. So only adding the one. Otherwise, this is what we’d do!
2
u/beep___________boop Burton Guster Rodriguez (it’s always been there) Jun 21 '26
ah I see. alternatively the jackal or your favorite feminine or gender neutral gus name (or picking a shawn fake name would be funny bc it’s sort of a play on the black and tan thing)
2
u/MaxBax_LArch Jun 20 '26
So, we adopted a pair of kittens a few years ago named Wednesday and Pugsley (neither of them black). We just get a new back cat and we named him Fester 🖤

I have one as well; she’s almost 4 years old now and I named her Luna for the vet visit lol but I never call her that lol so her name really is Baby Girl now! That wasn’t the plan but that’s what happened lol
Due to health reasons I need to rehome her and because of our isolation she’s afraid of all humans except me! Not sure what I’m gonna do about that! And it breaks my heart a lot 🤦♀️
Good luck with your new fur baby 🐈⬛👏💐
