What to name a cat? the best options for names and nicknames, a list from A to Z.

When an animal appears in the house, a logical question arises - what to call the fluffy beauty. Names for cats, as experts advise, should be given quickly so that the pet has time to get used to it.

Previously, people cared little about what to name a cat. We chose from the standard options: Murka, Musya, Busya, Snezhok, Vaska, Ryska, Ryzhaya and the like. Now a lot of beautiful and original nicknames have appeared. Pets are called by non-standard names of writers and cartoon characters, nicknames from the English language without translation into Russian. In total, there are more than a thousand options, among which you can choose the best one depending on the breed, color, and character of the new family member.

How to choose a name for a girl kitten

Choosing names for girls' cats is not as easy as it seems at first glance. Dozens of characteristics are taken into account, among which special attention should be paid to:

• Pet's appearance. Nicknames for girls' cats are chosen depending on external characteristics. Thus, attention is paid to the color of the coat and the beautiful color of the eyes, the length and width of the paws, unusual ears or a fluffy tail. If there is a non-standard detail in appearance, then this may be the reason for choosing a specific name.
• Pet character. The cat's character is another reason to choose a certain nickname. Some animals are active and cheerful. They get used to the house literally from the first day and consider people their new family. Others are calm and peaceful. You have to work hard to earn their trust. Still others even get used to their new home for several weeks, or even months, demonstrating their independent or fearful character.
• Peculiarities. There are no two cats alike in the world. Each of them has its own inner world. One likes to chase insects, the other likes to eat indoor flowers. It is worth following the habits of a new animal in the house. It is likely that it is precisely such nuances that will serve as the reason for choosing the name.
• Breed. The name is also selected depending on the breed. It would be strange to call an animal of royal blood, with a pedigree, intended for participation in exhibitions, with a simple nickname. Or, on the contrary, it will seem pretentious if you call a cat of ordinary blood, a yard cat, a noble and very long name.

Do not forget that it is not only the owner who will communicate with the animal. Perhaps some nickname seems funny or cool, it causes laughter in a friendly atmosphere. But you will have to take the animal to the veterinarian, get a passport for it, and the like. You need to think about whether a non-standard nickname will characterize the owner as a frivolous person.

How to accustom a kitten to its name

When a nickname for a girl’s favorite cat is chosen, this is just the beginning. Now you need to accustom your little pet to the sound so that it begins to respond and associate the name with itself.

Sometimes this is not so easy to do. Here we need to recall the works of the famous Soviet scientist Pavlov, who recommended the use of unconditioned and conditioned reflexes. Training is carried out precisely following his theory.

First you should say the chosen name. Then there is a reward (in the form of a treat). Consolidation - also pronounce sounds. Then the animal's brain will begin to associate the name with praise. The kitten will become affectionate and loving. Consolidation occurs at the level of an unconditioned reflex.

It is worth understanding that getting used to a name is not an easy task. Some cats begin to respond within a couple of times. Others are headstrong and don’t want to get used to it. But do not panic if the animal does not pay attention to sounds for several weeks. It is possible that the nickname itself was chosen incorrectly.

Experts recommend choosing names that have hissing sounds. These are similar to the “native” voice of cats, so they become established faster. There is no need to use a title that is too long. Even if the full name consists of three or four syllables, it is better to break it down into small, cool or cute nicknames. Later, with age, you can gradually accustom yourself to the full name and consolidate this using the above-described formation of a conditioned reflex on the basis of an unconditional one.

Nicknames with an emphasis on character

Owners often try to emphasize the cat’s character with a nickname. This is how Sweeties and Evil Ones appear. At the same time, it is not so easy to guess in advance what the temperament of a mongrel kitten will be. With purebred animals the situation is different, since their character is largely determined by their breed. For example, Maine Coons are considered kind, but not very playful. Siamese cats are smart and active, but exotic shorthairs are calm and sedentary creatures.

If your cat is not very active and likes to sleep, then you can choose an appropriate name for her. Name your cat Scops Owl or Sonya to let everyone know that she is a napper.

Whatever you call Sonya, she will doze off

Tisha or Tishka are also nicknames that indicate that your pet does not make much noise.

For energetic and playful kittens, you can also choose interesting options. The playful girl deserves the name Sparkle, Rada or Flash. A particularly curious cat can be called Alice - in honor of the famous heroine of Lewis Carroll. Names such as Laska, Nezha and Mila are suitable for kind and sympathetic pets. If your cat has a difficult character from a very early age, then you can also emphasize this with a name. Zlyuka, Kusaka, Scratchy and Tsap are names that warn others about the not-so-good mood of your pet.
