The importance of choosing the right name for a kitten
Take seriously the choice of a nickname for your pet, because your animal, like a person, is also a personality, which means you need to come up with a special name, suitable specifically for it. Your choice should please not only you, but also your pet: its name will be pronounced several times a day, and the animal will also need to react to it correctly.
An important point: the name for a cat should be concise, sound clear and not too drawn out. This way the animal will remember it faster, and it will be easier for the owner to pronounce it.
- Still, if you really want to give your cat a long name or a name consisting of several syllables, do not be discouraged - there is a way out. Even the longest name can be shortened: Geraldine - Gera , for example.
- There is a tendency to call cats by human names, but this is not a good idea. It will be awkward if your friend Sonya , and you call your cat by the same name. It’s another matter if these are ancient names, which are used quite rarely these days: Filimon, Agafya, Roxana.
What you should rely on when choosing a name for your pet:
- Cat fur color. There is plenty of room for your imagination to run wild here, and if the nickname Chernysh for a black kitten, for example, sounds rustic, name your pet Blackie , or use other foreign languages. Make associations: a white cat is Snowball or Fluff, a black cat is Coal , etc.
- Features of wool. Bald cat - Shrek, or Tutankhamun, or the entire list of Egyptian pharaohs (suitable for the Sphinx breed). A smooth-haired cat can be called Bagheera, Panther , a fluffy one - Fatty , a red one - Carrot, Pumpkin or Ryzhuha . For a small kitten, the nicknames Lump, Buddy, or Bosyachok are suitable. But remember - he won’t always remain small: a cat weighing 10 kg named Lump will be a very funny picture.
- Pedigree of the cat . In this case, a name for her needs to be chosen that matches her origin. People from Britain can be honored with an English name, and those from Thailand can be given a Japanese name, while Persians can be honored with gentle-sounding names. Or simply - Baron, Marquis, Lord, Count.
- Pet's character . If you have already managed to get to know the subtle disposition of your cat, or rather, if there is some peculiarity in it, then it will be easy to name it. A sloth can be called Sonya or Splyukha, a mischievous kitten can be called a Hooligan, a Prankster, a Scamp.
Approach the choice of nickname with a sense of humor, come up with a mischievous and funny name. Cats have such a serious behavior that you just want to make fun of them. For example, Bun, Watermelon . There are plenty of funny names. Just don’t reward your younger friends with offensive or sarcastic nicknames, even as a joke. Cats are more than friends, they are family members and there is no need to insult them. Zamazura, Dirty, Scoundrel and similar nicknames will not work.
Do not despair if you have come up with a good name, at your discretion, for your pet, but he does not react to it in any way. After some time - a week, two weeks or more, you can try to rename the kitten. But you should not rename the animal more than once. Then it will not understand at all what they want from it.
Funny nicknames
To bring joy and smiles not only to the pet itself, but also to its nickname, you can choose some funny name. You can take anything as a basis - from the contents of your wardrobe and the names of animals to pieces of furniture and geographical objects. In this case, everything directly depends on the imagination and sense of humor of the owners.

Nicknames for cats, depending on breed
There is a rather interesting formula for how to name a kitten with a pedigree. Here are two basic rules:
The name of a kitten, whether it is a boy or a girl, must begin with the letter that is present in the name of its mother, a cat.
The serial number of the letter of the cat's name is determined by the time it gave birth to offspring.
For example, if the cat’s name is Flory and she brought kittens for the second time, then their names should begin with “L” . This is not a whim at all, but a mandatory requirement in nurseries that breed purebred cats. This fact must be indicated in all documents - metrics confirming the pedigree; this makes it possible for the kitten to take part in various exhibitions and competitions in the future.
If the animal's name consists of several words or is complex in itself, you can come up with an easier, simplified version. In addition, experts who breed their own cats advise giving the kitten a short name, consisting of one or two syllables. For example, Archie or Richie.
After six months, the cat must respond to its name. If this is not the case, then there is a high probability that it is too difficult for him. However, do not mislead your pet by changing his name, and pronounce the one you originally gave him clearly and expressively. Praise him and call him to eat, saying his name.
Remember that with the help of a correctly chosen name, you can correct the existing inclinations of the animal, cultivating the desired behavior and character.

The meaning of a cat's nickname
It has been verified that cats remember and respond better to nicknames that contain the letters “s”, “sh”, “h”. For example, Sima, Shusha, Chita. And it is much better to choose a short name than a long one. Call the cat with the chosen name several times, changing the intonation. If you arouse interest in the animal, it means you liked the name and chose it correctly.
What should you not call cats?
- It happens that a beloved animal passes away, and in order to dull the pain of the loss a little, another tailed friend is brought into the house. Often a new family member is called the same as the deceased, but this should not be done. The kitten can take on all the negativity from the life of the previous pet, but this is of no use. Keep the memory of the departed kitten in your heart, and give the new one a new life with a new name.
- Do not call our little brothers abusive names. Of course, the owner is a gentleman, but it is unlikely that an invented obscene name will highlight your good human qualities.
- Cats are rightfully considered the guardians of the home from negative energy. For this reason, do not call them by names associated with evil spirits - Lucifer, Witch.
Don't follow fashion, follow your heart. First of all, you should like the nickname; you don’t need to get used to a name that is unpleasant to your soul. Give your pet a name that will truly suit him and be in harmony with the appearance and character traits of your furry friend.
Inspiration from nature
Nature itself can provide inspiration when choosing a name for a pet. If you want to follow her call, you can pay attention to something or someone striped.
For example, you can play with the names of other animals, insects and plants, and give the kitten one of the following names: Zebra, Tiger, Wasp, Bumblebee, Bee, Hornet, Sailfish, Swallowtail, Pumpkin, Zucchini, Watermelon, Maranta, Schefflera.
A cat name associated with one of the natural striped stones - Agate, Carnelian, Jasper, Opal, Onyx, Aventurine - will also be unique.

This is interesting! Almost all tabby cats and tomcats have lines on their foreheads that form the letter "M". The Egyptians, who have long worshiped cats, attached special significance to this ornament - they considered it the “sign of the scarab,” which they also revered very much.
