This is, of course, a beautiful legend, but if you look closely at the lovely British girls, you can see real fairy-tale heroines.

Behavior in a cat's name
You shouldn’t look for a name for a girl’s cat of the British breed before purchasing it - British women should choose nicknames based on the presence of the animal in the house. Take your time - the pet will choose a nickname for itself.
And then, when choosing names for the fold-eared cats of girls of the British breed, you may want to be hooked on their cartoonish-toy appearance. Let your imagination run wild while watching the antics of a lilac British cat with a warlike disposition, and choose a name for the girl that will be in tune with her character.
Oddly enough, one of the main reasons influencing the choice of name is the character of the owner or hostess. It is believed that the British are usually chosen by people who put family first. There, the pet will always be the center of attention. And therefore, a British cat is often named a girl depending on how she behaves, her adventures or food preferences. The resulting nicknames are funny and cute at the same time.
English nicknames
For girls originally from distant and foggy Britain, British and English nicknames are, of course, suitable. Sounding names with a European character will be able to reflect the character of a cat who always has her own opinion.

Breeders' advice
There are several mandatory rules for choosing a nickname, which are well known to experienced breeders and specialists involved in improving the breed characteristics of the “British Shorthair”. It is not recommended to come up with names that are too complex, difficult to pronounce or “tricky”. As observations show, such animal nicknames are extremely difficult to perceive and are remembered for a long time.
It is best to give preference to “light” names consisting of two, maximum three short syllables . The “British” react very quickly to nicknames ending with the letter “i” and containing hissing or whistling sounds. It has also been noted that names with a large number of vowels are remembered faster and easier, both by animals and by others. In any case, the cat's name should be beautiful and euphonious.

British cat breed
The British cat breed has an unusual appearance. These are large but well-built animals. Their muzzle is slightly flattened, with clearly visible cheeks. It has widely spaced round eyes, which are most often brown in color, but there are others. Small ears are also set low and wide, they have a rounded shape. Britons have a wide tail and massive paws. This physique does not prevent the cat from maintaining its agility. The classic color of this breed is blue, but individuals of other colors have also been bred.
