Whether you were born in the 1990s, grew up in the '90s, or just bore witness to the awesomeness that was the '90s, you might have a special place in your heart for the decade of Tamagotchis, frosted tips, and boy bands. The '90s gave us some hella good things (World Wide Web, booyah) so obviously we've got to pay homage with a list of '90s cat names.

These name ideas come from all the best media the 1990s had to offer—everything from quirky sitcoms to iconic bands. Not only will you have a great story to tell when talking about your cat, but they'll also be the cutest reminder of one of the best decades of all time.

When naming your pet, make sure that it's short and sweet so they can easily learn it (it'll make training easier, too!). So if you want to go full-on Jesse Cat-sopolis, just call them Jesse in day-to-day life. Now on to the list.
