Recommendations for accustoming to a nickname

If you have decided on the choice of name, it’s time to move on to the learning stage. There are several ways to make it easier to remember the chosen name:

reward with food. The kitten must be called loudly, and if it comes running, be sure to give it something tasty. First, they call from a close distance, so that the pet not only hears the sounds, but also sees that they are addressing him. Then the distance is increased and visual contact is removed;
Playing with a cat should be accompanied by stroking, scratching and saying its name. A grateful purr and a learned nickname will not keep you waiting.

Cool names

Although cats are known for their independence, they can reciprocate the love they show and give their friendship. So, let's choose a cool name that the owner will love, but will also sound nice to the animal's ear!

Basic criteria for choosing a nickname

One of the important points when choosing a nickname is the gender of the cat. It is not easy to determine it in a newborn kitten, so it is better to wait until the pet grows up. Two or three months after birth, it will be much easier to determine its gender. You can also seek help from a veterinarian to be more sure.

Next you need to decide on the type of name. If you wish, you can call the cat a human name or even a middle name. It is important that it does not cause negative emotions in any of the household members. You can also choose associative nicknames that in one way or another emphasize the characteristics of the animal.

Attention is drawn to the pet’s fur, namely its length and shade. If your pet is purebred, then this fact can also be taken into account when choosing a nickname. As a rule, it is customary to choose more stately names for purebred animals, not limited to the standard Murka or Vaska.

If you want to carefully choose a nickname, get to know and make friends with your pet, pay attention to its character and habits. For example, if your cat is unhurried and reasonable, then the nickname Baron is suitable for him. For an elegant cat, you can use the nickname Milady.

If your pet is active and loves to play pranks, then the nickname Bandit is perfect for him.
