A note about The Cuddlywumps Chronicles

This blog is written and maintained by Miss Cuddlywumps, a fluffy-tailed calico cat who is both classically educated and familiar with mysteries. She receives creative input from the Real Cats and clerical assistance from She of Little Talent (old SoLT, a.k.a. Roby Sweet). Comments or complaints should be addressed to Miss C rather than to old SoLt (Ms. Sweet). Ms. Sweet accepts no responsibility for Miss C's opinions.

Agatha Christie–Inspired Names for Mysterious Cats



Why do you humans have such a difficult time naming cats? Here is a hint: “Kitty” and “Fluffy” are uninspired names.* We cats deserve better, and so I, Miss Cuddlywumps, am here to help you. I have located a place on the Internet that has a whole list of potential cat names inspired by Agatha Christie characters. Aside from the obvious “Hercule,” “Poirot,” and “Miss Marple,” here is a sample of my favorite names:


  • Mitzi (from A Murder Is Announced)
  • Lexie (from Mrs. McGinty’s Dead)
  • Japp (Inspector Japp from the Poirot stories)
  • Clancy (from Death in the Clouds)
  • Biggs (from One Two Buckle My Shoe)


Visit Cat Names HQ for even more ideas. Give your feline companions the dignified names they deserve. Please.

(*She of Little Talent hastens to add: Miss C means no disrespect to cats named Kitty or Fluffy. We’re sure they are wonderful cats who are loved by their humans.†)
(†Miss Cuddlywumps hastens to add: Cats named Kitty or Fluffy are more than likely embarrassed and a little bit depressed. They would be better named Daphne or Jinny.)
