Color cat names
Black and white cats are usually named for their pattern rather than a single colour, so it helps to work out which pattern you actually have: a tuxedo, a patched coat, white paws, or a dark mask.

Off uses the curated on-site library. On requests a fresh set and falls back visibly if that service is unavailable.

Gender labels are conventional associations, not restrictions — any name here can suit any cat. 21 of these names are listed as suiting either, so they appear in both columns.
A tuxedo cat is mostly black with a white chest and often white paws. A bicolour or piebald cat has larger irregular patches. Naming the pattern you actually have gives you a much shorter and more useful shortlist than browsing colour names generally.
Several names here are long — Marshmallow, Sylvester, Checkers, Alabaster. Decide the everyday short form before you commit, because that is the version you will use dozens of times a day. Tux, Moo, and Spot are already at their short form.
