Aristocats Baby Cat Names
Marie: Marie is a character from the 1970 Disney animated film called The Aristocats.
She is the daughter of the cat Duchess and looks like her mother—a Turkish Angora cat. She has a slender body, white hair, and deep blue eyes.
Marie is a curious and caring cat, even though she may be a little spoiled (a very wealthy woman owns her, so that’s expected.) looks like a smaller version of her mother, and she behaves in a similar, ladylike way.
With that in mind, Marie is a fantastic name you can give to your female kitten.
Toulouse: You could name your male kitten after Toulouse, another one of Duchess’ children. He has a chonky body with orange fur and gorgeous green eyes. Toulouse is a confident, funny, and easygoing cat, who always hoped to meet a tough alley cat, and he did.
