Choosing a name by sounds in words
It often happens that the name chosen is short and simple, but the cat categorically refuses to respond to it. The reason for this is the wrong choice of sounds or their combination. Therefore, it is important to choose the right sound sequence in a cat’s nickname:
- The presence of hissing sounds: “ts”, “ch”, “sh” . They are like the rustling of the mouse family, and natural instinct will prevail even in the most domesticated cats. The presence of such sounds is a sign to the animal that it needs to be alert and fully concentrated.
- The presence of the sound "r" . It is especially good if it is repeated several times in a word. This sound caresses the animal’s ears and calms it. After all, it is “r” that is so similar to the purring of an absolutely contented and peaceful cat.
- The sound “m” also has a calming effect on your pet.
But these recommendations are relative, since a short and beautiful name may please a pet even without these sounds.
