Now, you get to create your cat's name.
This is gonna be long.

(Realistic) Clan cats

First, choose a prefix for your cat. If you've read the Warrior series, I'm sure you know what's appropriate for a clan cat. Don't use anything a cat wouldn't know about. Ex: Metal.

You might base this off of what they look or sound like, their personality, or what clan they're in. For example, a brown cat's prefix might be Beetle. Or a RiverClan cat's prefix may be Reed.

Then, choose the suffix. If they're a kit, it will be "kit". For apprentice, it's "paw". For leader, it's "star".
Warriors, queens, elders, deputies, and medicine cats may have any realistic suffix of your choosing, so long as it's not kit, paw, or star.

If their prefix was based off their appearance, then the suffix would probably be some type of body part. Example: Beetlefur

If it's about their personality, then the suffix would be something like heart, spirit, etc. Example: Bounceheart

You get the idea.
For more choices of prefixes and suffixes, there are a bunch of other books on Wattpad that list them out.

Tribe Cats

In a tribe, kit-mothers name their kits after the first thing they see when their kit is born.

Usually their naming format includes a noun, a verb, a preposition, and another noun. For example: Hawk Soaring Over Mountain.
Or reversed: Mountain Where Hawks Soar.
Or maybe: Cliff Where Brambles Grow/Bramble Growing On Cliffside

Those names are kinda tricky. Just ask me if you need help.

Kittypet

Kittypets usually have one-word names, and they can be twoleg names, like Peter. Or twoleg items or ideas, like Mitten, Hotdog, or Spike.
Or they can have names like Sky, Cherry, Breeze, or Soot, that sound like clan prefixes.

Loner

Loners have names like kittypets, but are usually named after natural things. Many loners come from kittypet backgrounds, like Purdy and Barley.

Rogue

Rogue names are also like kittypet names, but are more likely to have an antagonistic appeal to them, since rogues tend to be the antagonists of a Warriors story (this is what separates them from loners).
Examples include: Hook, Thorn, Gravel, Venom, etc.

Other

Since I don't know what "other" thing you have in mind, this category of naming is all up to you.

Unrealistic

Just name them whatever. Fartface, Sparkle Rainbow, Memelord, I don't care.

Yay!! We're done with names!
