Tips for choosing a name
Sometimes a pet's name is associated with its character and qualities. But at the same time, it must be thoughtful so that the pet responds to its name at the owner’s first call. Sources for inspiration when choosing a name for a cat can be the names of people, characters from fairy tales, cartoons or films, the names of cities and countries, flowers or food.
Beautiful tricolor cat
When choosing a name for a cat, the owner should pay attention to the following:
- In order for a cat to quickly get used to its name and begin to respond to it, it is necessary that it contains hissing consonants - sha, sha, che. Such sounds will definitely attract the pet’s attention, thanks to which he will remember his nickname in a couple of days, for example, Francesca, Glasha, Chelsea, Sliver, Yummy, Bee, Rachel;
- nicknames that contain the sounds s and z, in combination with the letters b, k, t, for example, Dusya, Marquise, Fisa, Musya, will be very expressive;
- experienced breeders recommend choosing a name so that the emphasis falls on the first syllable, so the animal will feel that its name is, for example, Asya, Alice, Bonya, Lyusya;
- if you want to choose a long name, then it is better to come up with something shortened and consonant with the real one, for example, Isabella-Dorothea - Bella / Dora, Ivy-Brittany - Betty / Brivi. But you need to stop at one option, since the cat will not understand what name it should respond to.
Note! You should not choose rude nicknames, thinking that it is fun. The cat, of course, will not understand that it was called an obscene word, but friends and relatives may be very surprised by this choice. If you decide to make a new friend, then you need to show him respect.

Name by character
Tricolor cats are considered very friendly, sweet, intelligent and easy-going. But long-haired tortoiseshells behave the way they are treated. If they are loved and cherished, then the cat shows the best character traits, but if he is ignored or offended, then he can become nervous and aggressive.
“Turtles” do not like to be touched by strangers because of their strong attachment to their owner. They are capricious and do not like to be taught. Tricolors choose a place to sleep and relieve their needs independently and do not want to obey the rules imposed on them. Therefore, a pet can be named in accordance with the main traits of its character:
- Agata/Agafya – kind;
- Aglaida – sparkling, lovely;
- Alevtina – chaste;
- Alla is selfish;
- Animaisa – spiritual;
- Amanda – nice;
- Antonia - entering into battle;
- Ariadne - sleeping;
- Arina – calm;
- Angelina – angelic;
- Aella – hurricane, whirlwind;

- Vivien – alive;
- Vasilisa - regal;
- Veselina – cheerful;
- Grace – grace;
- Glafira – sophisticated;
- Blue – tender;
- Jennifer is a sorceress;
- Jessica is a treasure;
- Jocelyn is cheerful;
- Dobrava - kind;
- Euphrosyne/Ilaria – joy, fun;
- Iraida – goddess of the rainbow;
- Ivy – goddess of food (suitable for a cat who loves to eat);
- Cassandra – radiant;
- Cleopatra is a beauty;
- Concordia – concordant;
- Constance - faithful, constant;
- Leila – night beauty (for a cat that is active at night);
- Leona/Ruslana – lioness;
- Lucy – bringer of luck and light;
- Miranda is amazing;
- Mia – obstinate;
- Mona is a hermit;
- Madison – kind;
- Milada - sweetheart;

- Rachel – lamb;
- Sophie – wise;
- Susanna – stubborn;
- Stella/Esther – star;
- Felicia - happiness;

- Cheryl - beloved;

A cat of any breed and color is an individual. It is often difficult to predict how a playful, curious kitten will grow up. Therefore, you need to take the choice of a name based on the pet’s character seriously and observe its behavior and preferences. You should also think before calling your cat “cool” names.

Tricolor cats: description of appearance
A tricolor is a cat with black, red and white spots. Falinologists distinguish 2 main color options: calico and classic tricolor (harlequin). In the first case, the cat has red-black fur with white patches. The second is characterized by red and black spots on a white background. The color ratio may change, but the white base remains the same.
Most of the body of calico cats is covered with white fur.
Most often, the belly, neck, lower part of the muzzle and paws remain lighter. The color intensity varies; there are both bright contrasting specimens and cats with smooth color transitions on the coat. Dark spots can have a tabby color, in which each hair has a different shade of black and red.
The tricolor color is characteristic of some breeds, but it is more common in ordinary yard cats.
The spotted black, white and red color is determined genetically. For some, it is considered a vice, but in many cases it is acceptable. Three-color options are considered the norm for:
- Japanese and Kuril bobtails;
- Maine Coons;
- British and American shorthairs;
- Persian;
- Scottish Folds;
- Manx.
Often a similar coat color is found in mixed breeds of these breeds and ordinary domestic cats. In this case, the mutation does not persist into the second generation; a tricolor cat can give birth to ordinary monochromatic kittens: black, white or red. Unfortunately, it is impossible to fix the tricolor color and consistently produce such offspring.
Three-color cat with kittens
The spotted color has nothing to do with the length of the coat. It occurs in both long-haired and short-haired individuals. Eye color can also vary; depending on the breed, the following iris colors are possible:
- green;
- bluish;
- amber yellow;
- light brown.
Tri-color color is not always inherited
The shade of the nose and the mucous membrane of the lips depends on the hair on this part of the body. If it is dark, the nose will be brighter: gray, dark pink with a black border. In cats with a white muzzle and spots near the eyes and ears, the lobes are light. If the border of colors runs along the muzzle, the nose may appear two-tone, black and pink.
The tricolor color is associated with the chromosomal sequence, which is why most of these cats are females. Males are much less common, and they all have two X chromosomes (an uncommon but harmless mutation for animals). The only problem with such cats is difficulties with reproductive function.
The cat Bayun, popular in Russian folklore, is a tricolor cat.

Legends and myths about the tricolor cat
Maneki-neko figurines are popular in Japan and bring good luck.
Tricolor cats have always attracted attention with their fur. In Muslim countries, it is believed that such an animal will protect the home from fire. The British believe that these furry friends are the guardians of family comfort. The Japanese are sure that an animal of this color brings good luck, so sailors used to take a multi-colored tailed animal onto their ship.
The Land of the Rising Sun also has a legend about Goto-kuji Temple, which tells the story of the friendship between a monk and a small calico kitten in 1615. The abbot loved the animal very much and looked after it a lot. Soon the sacred place had to close due to money problems. The monk shared his sadness with his pet. The cat, realizing that the owner needed help, found a source of funding for the treasury.
The smart tailed one saved the life of Prince Ii Naotaki. The prince was returning from a military campaign during a thunderstorm. He hid under a tree near a sacred place. The cat noticed Ii Naotaki and pointed at the temple with his paw. As soon as Ii Naotaki went indoors, a strong lightning struck the tree. The prince was grateful to his four-legged friend for his unusual rescue. He helped the temple financially. Since then, the tricolor cat has been considered a harbinger of prosperity. In modern Japan, in connection with this story, figurines of cats with a raised paw are popular.

Basic criteria for choosing a nickname
To choose a name for your pet, you should consider the following indicators:
- it should be sonorous and simple (no more than 2-3 syllables), so that it is easier for the animal to remember, and also easier for the owner to pronounce when he calls the kitten;
- the nickname must contain whistling, hissing sounds;
- the breed of the pet, since certain nicknames may be suitable, for example, for the British or Scots;
- appearance of a cat: color of fur, eyes;
- character traits: gracefulness, clumsiness, playfulness;
- the age of the animal, if it takes too long to choose a nickname, the pet may grow up during this time and not accept it;
- preferences of the animal itself, which is capable of perceiving the first three sounds of its name.
The name of a tricolor pet should be simple and sonorous
When choosing a suitable name for your four-legged friend, you should make a list of all the nicknames you like and then cross out the most inappropriate names from it. Using this method of elimination, you can find the only nickname that both the owner and the kitten will like.
