How to accustom a cat to a name

You should not call a girl many names at the same time. You need to choose one and repeat it until she associates it with herself. Also, you should not call her by name when you need to punish her for an offense. This will lead to the fact that the pussy will associate dirty tricks and negative emotions with its nickname.

It is best to teach the name with the help of food, then the baby will happily run to its sound. You also need to say the name of your striped pet while playing with it. And under no circumstances should you pronounce it with an angry intonation. After all, the cat instantly picks up the sound background. Only a loving owner can make sure that the name does not cause anxious feelings in the pet.

The most “fluffy” nicknames

For lions, whom nature has awarded with a luxurious mane, nicknames that emphasize their beauty and, most importantly, “wealth” are quite suitable. These names are also good for soft plush animal toys.

Possible options:

Wool;
Valerie;

Creative person

All parents want their child to become a harmoniously developed personality. Therefore, from childhood they try to consider him a singer, artist, performer, musician. And few people notice that numbers or building blocks are much more interesting than a violin or parquet flooring. As a result, tears, screams and frayed nerves. The name has a very strong influence on the child. Therefore, if you really want the girl to wear her pointe shoes or tassels, it is better to choose an appropriate name.

Eleanor is a delicate nature. Delicate flower with a steel rod. If you put Elechka at the ballet barre, she is ready to handcuff herself to it, give her a brush in her hands - doom her to sleepless nights in front of the next landscape. Elya will devote herself entirely to creativity, and her inner perfectionism will not allow her to create strange daubs or move like a wounded grasshopper.

Selena is a rhyme out of nowhere. Selena is able to speak in poetry. There are no “growling” sounds in the name. But it sneaks quietly and unnoticed, softly walking with pronunciation, bewitching with vibration. Selena loves silence. After all, it is in it that unique lines are born. Selena also hears notes perfectly. It will not be difficult for her to master musical notation. She will do this with pleasure, because some poems need to be clothed in a musical blanket.

Alice is our whole life as a game. Even in diapers, Alice knows when to cry and when to hold out her arms. She's an amazing actress. But Alice does not play a role, she lives in it. This is only an angelic girl in appearance. Actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. She will not miss a single production, even if there is a pumpkin in the garden, but she will play. Moreover, she will make her role as a pumpkin overshadow Cinderella’s extravaganza.

Stanislava is a rare name consisting of notes. As a child, it’s not particularly clear what Stasya wants, but then her head doesn’t hurt what to give for her birthday. Guitar, ukulele, drum kit or accordion. Stasya will wear out all the instruments. Parents should not be skeptical about this hobby. At first it seems that it is strumming, knocking, but all to no avail. Very little time will pass, and Stanislava will become a one-man orchestra.

Iskra is a fire girl. He goes through life dancing. It flares up, then slowly goes out, then rapidly circles, then flows smoothly. The girl is a musical empath. She is very accurately able to convey emotions through movement. Show the whole range of feelings with your body.

Of course, it’s difficult to guess what your daughter wants to become: a singer, an artist, or something else. But here famous women who have achieved certain success will come to the rescue. Who knows, maybe Eleonora Duse or Alisa Frendlich is in diapers right now.
