Published in the Your Cat magazine, the study by the PDSA Petsurance looked at cat names in insurance claims and found remarkable differences between names.Between 2012 and 2015, the 100 most popular cat names in insurance claims were analysed.

Take a look at the list of the ten most unlucky and ten most lucky cat names to choose from. Doom your cat with Bruno, Cassie, Jake, Izzy, Henry, Tia, Dylan, Buster, Sam, and Jess. Keep your cat safe with Luna, Olly, Skye, Freddie, Paddy, Ted, Bertie, Coco, Minnie, and Teddy.
