We had fun picking out names for our last yellow lab. In the running (no pun intended) were: Presto, Sousa, Mozart, and--my favorite, but my wife wouldn"t allow--Ritard. But the one that we finally greed on was, Coda. For your cat, how about, Largo or Pause. Hope this "name dropping" helps a bit. Good Naming!!!!! Have fun.

my friend has a black and white cat that he named Maestro because of the way his markings are. his belly and paws are white so it looks like he's dressed in a tux to conduct. very cute!

You could always name it after your favorite composer or something, like Igor (Stravinsky) or something like that, I wouldn't just give it a random name for the sake of naming it after something musical....

It's not a classical music or a clarinet name but my kitty is named Exene after Exene Cervenka from the punk band X whose performance I saw shortly before I got her. My sister and her husband have a cat named Hendrix after Jimi Hendrix. In contrast, my other sister has named her cats with cutesy Disney names.

Just a couple more, if you are still keeping track--you seem to have hit on a hot topic. My wife reminded me of another musical pet name we had selected if our dog had been a girl:
ARIA. Sounds Purrrrrfect to Me"ow".
Did anyone mention, Paws (pause)?????
Or, Keezz (as in, Kitten on the Keys)?????
Please let us know which one you pick--is there a puurrrizzz?
Good luck and Good Clarineting!!!!!

Allegro sounds like a nice name for a happy cat. I thought about naming my dog Selmer when I got it. Of course Benny can be a clarinet related name for any animal. My neighbor had a Bulldog named Chato, which means flat in spanish.

Music names my girlfriend and I tossed around when we adopted our boy bi-blue merle sheltie were Tchaik, Rimsky, Liszt and Chopin.
We ended up going with Merlin - totally unrelated I know, but it just seemed to work so well for him.

I'm making my stupid pet human type this. When Lelia wakes up, she'll think she just nodded off at the computer. Meanwhile, I control her big, sloppy, wet, primat[iv]e brain. Name a cat Clare Annette, or anything else screech-stick related?! Sssssssssssssssssss!! Oh, the CATastrophe! Of course, the nice cat won't answer to any name that's truly insulting, and will test your intelligence by telepathically communicating something more appropriate, within the gross limitations of human speech as hampered by those grotesquely huge, slow, slobbery tongues, of course. Bleagh!
Some of those musical names might be acceptable. I know of a cat with the human name of Da Capo after a nice, obedient human rescued him from an animal shelter where he'd been dumped by a nasty human who nearly starved him. The kind human who rescued him gave him a fresh start, with plenty of admiration and food and fresh water and assistance of other kinds every day, and Da Capo accepted the name. But regardless of what we permit humans to call us, cats choose our own names, and we don't tell you what they are.
Sssst!
Shadow Cat
(She originally tried to call me something else. Something she thought was more creative and original. Something incredibly and idiotically human that I wouldn't lower myself to acknowledge with so much as a whisker twitch.)

Dano: A calahula is a beagle-like dog, spotted similar to a dalmatian, except with a gray rather than white background. Also, the "whites" of its eyes are gray. They have never been known to play a clarinet, bassoon, or kazoo. Eu

We had two Scottish Folds (Felines) - Mozart and Haydn. Unfortunately, Mozart died at the age of 6 from kidney failure - he lived just about as long as the real Mozart if you compare cat years to human years.
Then we adopted another Scottish Fold - Puccini - who turned out to be a true Turandot soprano. Can this girl sing - - LOUD !
When Haydn passed on at the ripe old age we adopted another wonderful male - this time from the humane society. We named him Sullivan. I suppose if we were to invite another kitty to live with us, it would, no doubt be Gilbert.
Believe it or not, our cats love music. My wife is a lyric soprano, and I play clarinet if you have not guessed.
