Choose from the list of beautiful names for your red boy kitten, and your playful baby will be content and happy.

The importance of choosing a nickname
Cats are animals that can live on their own and are completely independent of humans. They will rarely show sympathy for him if they really don't need anything. Often these animals can despise humans. But no matter what the cat is, it is very important for him to have a good nickname. Some felinologists claim that the habits and character of the cat will depend on the nickname. He hears a certain set of sounds that shape his behavior and habits.
It is interesting that cats with nicknames consonant with human names (for example, Vaska) got along very closely with people. In difficult times of war, they helped their owners survive and even got food for them. According to some livestock breeders, it was the nickname that contributed to the development of such behavior in the animal. But nicknames with an abundance of hissing sounds for some reason contributed to the fact that the pets grew up shy.
The choice of a beautiful and suitable nickname for an animal depends only on the owner, the characteristics of the cat, and his habits. But do not forget that a cat is an independent creature and will not always want to respond to a particular name.
Nicknames that should not be given to ginger cats
There are no prohibitions on specific names for cats, but these animals have long been attributed otherworldly abilities, and for this they were even persecuted in the Middle Ages. Therefore, it is still not customary to give them nicknames that are reminiscent of evil spirits.
The list of names of a red cat-boy or cat-girl is formed with this rule in mind - owners try to avoid any connection with reminders of witches, brownies and other swamp evil spirits.
There are many signs from which you can start when choosing a name for a ginger cat (boy or girl). But we must not forget about a very important circumstance - you need to “agree” with the pet; he must like the nickname.
Otherwise, no matter how good and popular the nickname options may be, the animal simply will not respond to it. So choosing a nickname is best done as the first test of compatibility between the owner and his four-legged ward.
Tips for choosing a nickname
Choosing a suitable name for a cat is not enough. Everything must be done so that the kitten can master it. It is recommended to keep an eye on him. Perhaps solid or, conversely, playful nicknames will suit your pet.
Some felinologists advise giving a nickname that determines the breed, color or character. For example, it could be Lord, Player or Fluff. Then you should call the kitten with the chosen name. Sometimes he may respond the first time to the chosen name, but in other situations it will take time.
If a red pet is purchased from a nursery and has an impressive pedigree, then the breeders give it a name, but it is usually long. In this case, it is best to come up with some kind of diminutive option. This will make it easier for both the owner and the meowing saffron milk cap.
There are also scientific recommendations for choosing a name for a pet. They lie in the fact that feline representatives perceive sound in a special way. Cats have unique hearing and will listen for speech sounds. Zoologists do not recommend that a kitten's name include hissing sounds. They make him anxious and are likely to frighten him more than they attract him.
It was also noticed that furry pets distinguish vowel sounds very poorly, but whistle sounds well - “z”, “s”, “ts”. In addition, the sound “m” encourages the cat to communicate normally, and the sound “r” is associated with purring.
It is important that the name is short. This recommendation is explained by the fact that cats do not accept long nicknames. You should never call your pet gangster names or, even worse, obscene names. Even if someone finds this funny or very funny, it is worth thinking about those people who may come into the house and hear a nickname that is offensive to them. If desired, everyone can choose a suitable name for their four-legged family member.
Beautiful English nicknames
Naming your pet an English name or a word that means something in English is a good choice. Nicknames with an English tint add piquancy and grandeur. In combination with the noble appearance of the pet, such a nickname will be very harmonious.

How to accustom a kitten to its name
The easiest way to accustom your pet to its nickname is by combining this process with feeding. This will help develop the necessary conditioned reflex against the background of food, that is, unconditional. Training food should be prepared ahead of time. When food is poured into the bowl, you need to call the kitten with the usual “ks-ks”, combining these sounds with the nickname. While the kitten is eating, you need to stroke it and repeat its name.
You can also accustom your kitten to its name with the help of its favorite treat. That is, every time the cat responds to the name, he will receive delicious food. The main thing is to choose a moment when the kitten really wants to eat some yummy food. Gradually, the kitten will get used to the fact that it has a name and will respond to it. You can carry the treat with you all the time and start training when the animal is in the appropriate mood.
You can also learn while playing games. While stroking the kitten and playing with it, it is worth repeating the name periodically. He will gradually get used to such games and will soon respond to his name. Red kittens learn differently. For some, a week is enough for this, while others will require much more training. Some kittens will even need several months for this.
An adult cat can also be taught a name. But this process will last a very long time, since the adult pet’s psyche is already formed. If he is self-sufficient, then it is best to quit this thankless task.
Which names are better not to choose?
Whatever you decide to name your pet, the main thing in this matter is whether you like the chosen name. After all, you will be living with your pet side by side for quite a long time. It would also be a good idea to show reasonableness and a sense of tact towards the people around you: there is no need to give your beloved cat human names. For example, your neighbors on the landing with similar names may be deeply offended. Perhaps you haven’t thought about what to name a ginger kitten; the name arose by itself. It happens. But it’s still unlikely that those around you will be pleased that you compare their personality to a cat, even the best one in the world.
There are many names that can be given to a tailed pet. If you are still thinking about what to name your red male kitten, then ask your friends about interesting names - they will probably offer good options. In the end, you can turn to your own children for help - they are real masters of inventing and imagining.
When getting a pet of the “stronger sex,” the owner first of all decides what to name the red kitten for the boy. A nickname is not just a set of sounds that are pleasant to the owner
She must teach the pet to respond, run when called and pay attention to the owner
Previously, cats were called by simple names: Murzik, Fluff, Barsik, but now most animal owners want it to be cool and interesting.
Ginger cats have a bright and not always simple disposition.
They are active, usually have an expressive character, and are prone to showdowns. Cats with a red color show intelligence, curiosity and willfulness. The kitten's nickname should reflect its character: Cunning, Fighter, Don. According to legend, red pets bring happiness and prosperity to the home. In any case, the appearance of a kitten brings not only troubles, but also joy.
It is believed that a nickname, by analogy with human names, can affect the fate and character of a pet. Taking this into account, we call the kitten the name we want it to be when it grows up. More sonorous sounds will make him mischievous, the diminutive name will also be reflected, ensuring the softness of his character: Baby, Sweetheart, Soft.
In principle, cats can be given any names that are convenient for the owner, but cats perceive the sounds “s”, “t”, “k”, “sh”, combinations “ks”, “ps” better.
When choosing a nickname, it is advisable to take into account the breed
This is especially important for breeding and exhibition animals. The nickname should reflect its origin, be sonorous, pleasant to the ear, and easy to pronounce
The owner of a show animal is unlikely to want the name Fluff or Vaska to be pronounced in the ring, but Monet, Harry, Theodore sounds more noble and extraordinary.
Funny nicknames for boy kittens
Some owners who love to joke call their pets Orange, Fedya, Fant, Rubik, Tolstyk, Kubik, Kvadratik, etc. But before choosing a “funny” name for a kitten, you should think about whether it should be called funny? After all, caring for a cat needs to be taken seriously. An animal is not a toy, and a name invented in a hurry may be unpleasant to the owners or their friends.
