I'm getting a cat soon, and I really want to name it after a musical character. I'm not that creative, so I can't think of anything. I don't know the gender, so any type would be kind. Thanks!

I second Pippin. I have a friend who named her dog that. It's so perfect for a pet.
oh dad poor dad mama's hung you in the kitchen and I'm feeling so sad
I would also say Whizzer, but that might give off the wrong idea
More ideas:
Rizzo
Higgins
Tevye
Shug

You know there's a whole musical with numerous cats in it, right?
Our last cat (white domestic shorthair) was named SEBASTIAN for the character in Tennessee Williams' SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER-- a sexy layabout in a rumpled white suit.
Our current cat, another white domestic shorthair with more get-up-and-go, got the name ATTICUS FINCH for another white suit-wearer from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. (Admittedly, neither script is a musical though they both should be.)

Wow I'm really liking Anatole Furagin, Pippin, Usnavi, and yes I know there's a whole Cats musical but I was looking for something outside of that

We have three cats all named after musical characters: Matilda, Smalls (from Newsies), and Oliver!
My parents have five of the sweetest cats that I ever seen and we named all of them after musical characters:
Dot (SITPWG)
Whizzer (Falsettos)
Amalia (She Loves Me)
Nellie (South Pacific)
Dolly (Hello, Dolly!)
I have a bearded dragon right now named Stephen Sondheim and my friend just got a puppy named Evan Hansen. One my professors has a loud parrot named Patti.
I think Little Edie or Shug are perfect names for a cat.

These actually may be the best ideas I've ever seen! All of those names are so lovely and/or fitting
One of my old science teachers had a fish tank with angelfish and a bunch of guppy-like things. The guppies kept dying off so (in my mind) I named the angelfish Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. Hopefully not the angle you'd take with your cats lol

My Maine Coon fur baby is named Vera Charles. Here she is...
I like Whizzer, Usnavi, and Dot!
I named my cat after Phillipa Soo. Her real name is Phillipa but we call her Pippa lol. She's the sweetest and has 100000 nicknames.
I named my cat Miss Jones, after the song from Blood Brothers (I was obsessed with it when I got her). But we're on a first name basis now, so I just call her Kitty. :) Most people call her Miss Kitty, or Miss Kitty Jones.
If I gave another cat a musical-based name, I'd have to go with Mr. Mushnik.
Mame
My kitties at home are Maxie (my avatar to the left) and his sister Zeeva.
Auntie Maim would be an awesome name for a cat!
Actually Maime is better suited for a female Pit Bull.
