Name and behavior

Attention! When choosing a name for a cat, many owners base it on the kitten’s behavior.

Kittens, like people, are all different and behave differently too. When buying or adopting an animal, you need to take a closer look: some pets run around and make noise, others sit quietly and modestly in a basket near their mother, others are curious and omnipresent, and others rub themselves around the bowl in the hope of getting an extra snack.

When purchasing a kitten in a nursery or at the market, or taking a stray one into your home, before giving it a name, it is worth observing it for a while. What is the cat doing? How is he behaving? Is she brave or a coward? Active and mobile, or prefers to sleep on the sofa? Playful or food lover?

Cats and cats hear and perceive whistling and hissing sounds perfectly.

Having studied the character of the new pet a little, the owner understands what name a girl cat can be called, based on associations:

• Murka is a traditional Russian nickname, suitable for a cheerful cat without lordly manners;
• Anfisa is inquisitive and keeps up everywhere;
• Bagheera – calm, a little lazy;
• Busya, Basya, Kusya - a small active cat;
• Dusya, Punya, Pyshka are lovers of food.

Many cat owners, without thinking twice, call the new family member a derivative of the word “cat,” and there are many of them: Kat, Katie, Kusya, Kutya, Kysya, Katsy, Kisa, Kitty, and also Pusya. “Meowing” names are in demand: Musya, Myauushka, Myatka, Musien, Missy, Murchella.
