Cat names by color

What people name each coat color and pattern — from real cats. Every page includes the names that color carries far more often than everyone else (orange cats really do get more Gingers and Garfields).

Shelter cats (a stray/surrender population, not licensed pets): Austin Animal Center, Bloomington IN, and Montgomery County MD intakes, each cat counted once.
