General rules for creating nicknames
The main motto of experienced owners is brevity.
In official nurseries, purebred cats are usually named using a formula. The date of birth, month, year are taken into account; kittens from the same litter are often given names starting with the same letter.
In addition, the main part is plus a prefix - the name of the club or a characteristic feature of the breed (Baby Boo, Long Tale, Blue Mur). Suffixes are the names of the parents or the geographical location of the nursery.
There are other official rules:
- Mandatory entry of the name in the stud book.
- The nickname size is 20-40 characters.
- Reuse of a nickname is possible only after 30 years.
Those nicknames that include whistling and hissing sounds (“s”, “sch”, “sh”, “ch”, “zh”, “ts”, “z”) are better remembered. The optimal size is 3-5 letters, 2 syllables with emphasis on the first.
Cats need a sonorous word that can be heard with any intonation . If the club chooses a nickname that is too inconvenient, it is shortened (Friederich von Adam - Fedya, Free, Adam; Caroline White Wool - Woolley, Carrie).
It is recommended to avoid words similar to harsh “command” words (“Shoot,” “Shoot,” “Get out”). It is better not to name your pet after family members, deceased pets, or close relatives. With a nickname they try to emphasize the individuality of the animal: the color of its fur, eyes, special habits, temperament, character.
How to teach a kitten to respond to its name
To quickly teach a kitten to respond to its name, re-read the works of physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the same one who formulated the principles of unconditioned and acquired reflexes. Because you will benefit from both principles.
Or you can not read these Talmuds, but remember your school biology lessons and try to independently develop a conditioned reflex in a kitten based on the innate one.
Calm down, you can do it!
A conditioned reflex (an expected reaction to the sound of a kitten's name) is developed on the basis of an unconditioned reflex (joy about a food reward).
The sound of the name - the smell of food - the sound of the name - feeding - praise.
That is, the baby is called by name before he enters the kitchen, but only when the food is already in the bowl!
Famous tabby cats
Many mustachioed stripes played roles in films and also became cartoon characters. And their names can be taken as a basis when choosing a nickname for your tailed friend.
- Jonesy from the movie Alien. The red tabby cat in the film was a passenger on a spaceship. Interestingly, this role was played by as many as four cats.
- Cat from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". This cat without a name was played by a red-tailed cat, whose real name is Ryzhik.
- Brad Pitt from the film “I Want Like Bridget.” The main character named this red striped handsome man in honor of her favorite actor.
- Bob from the movie "A Street Cat Named Bob." This red-haired furry played himself in the biographical film and helped the main character improve his difficult life.
- Ulysses from Inside Llewyn Davis. And again, another redhead who became the main character of the film and brought a special charm to it.
- Lucky from the series "Alf". A furry alien repeatedly tried to eat this poor fellow, but the baby, fortunately, remained unharmed.
- Cat from the film "The Godfather". This is a simple tabby cat with no name, which actually ended up in the frame completely by accident, because she was just running around the set.
- Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. The fluffy, smiling handsome man became one of the main characters of the film fairy tale and was very much loved by the audience.
- "Tonto" from the movie "Harry and Tonto". An orange tabby cat travels with its owner, a pensioner evicted from his own home.
- Garfield from the film of the same name. The cartoonish fat ginger loves to eat, but sometimes gets distracted from what he loves to do to help his careless owner.
- Pepper from the film "Gentlemen's Games". Perchik lived quietly with his mistress, but after an adventurer appeared in the house, he joined a gang of criminals.
- Matroskin from a series of cartoons about the village of Prostokvashino. Perhaps the most beloved cat from the old Soviet past.
