The list is handpicked and includes the top 100 popular cat names in alphabetical order, ensuring reliability for common use cases, as specified in the README.
Provides a clean API with functions like `randomCatName()` and a standalone JSON file, making it dependency-free and simple to use in various projects.
Includes a CLI tool for quick access to cat names directly from the terminal, with options for random or all names, enhancing developer convenience.
From sindresorhus, a trusted open-source author, it's minimal and well-documented, with no dependencies for ease of use and reliability.
The list is fixed at 100 names, and the author explicitly states no PRs for additional names, limiting scalability for applications needing variety or updates.
Lacks features for filtering, sorting, or adding custom names, making it unsuitable for projects requiring tailored or extensible name lists.
Only provides cat names; developers needing multiple pet types must integrate separate libraries like the related dog-names project, adding complexity.
