About This Quiz

The relationship with a pet is unlike any other. Your pet doesn't gripe at you for leaving your clothes on the floor. Your pet doesn't care if you had four donuts for breakfast. Your pet only cares about the fact that you love them unconditionally. Which, of course, you do.

During this quiz, we are going to ask you to tell us all about your furry loved one. We'll need to know the details of your daily life together, the things you do for your pet, and how you came to meet them. Once we've explored your adventure in pet ownership, we think we can accurately guess what you named them.

Whether you chose something traditional like Spike or you went for a more star-studded name, the way you describe your pet's personality will help us figure out the name you could have put on their birth certificate. Although there are more pet names out there than there are kittens, your answers will provide a clear picture of the name your pet comes running when it hears.

If you're ready to give us a shot, we're ready to do our best. What's your pet's name? We'll know in 30 short questions!
