Top 100 cat names in alphabetical order.

.random()

Type: Function

Random cat name.

  Examples

    Max

    $ cat-names --all

cat-names's Issues

i18n anyone?

No Ferguson

Gotta have Ferguson.

Optional random() argument

Hi!

I found the project very funny and interesting! But I would like to propose an improvement...

As a lover of cats, I might have in mind by which letter I want the name of my pet to start, even though I have no clue of the full name:

const catNames = require('cat-names');

catNames.random('W'); // > 'Whiskers'

---

PD: why no PR with new names? My 🐈 is called Schrödinger, I think it's an awesome name! 😄

Any plans for internationalization of this list?

I can contribute Russian top 100 😸

alfabetical

Possibly-copyrighted names

I might use this in a project but I'm concerned about Garfield and others appearing there. Are you open to a PR to remove them?

update meow

Just like with dog names, also here, that meow@5 dependency triggers https://snyk.io/test/npm/meow/5.0.0 (the trim-newlines problem). Could this be updated please?
