How to name a kitten: a guide to cat names

A little furry friend has arrived in your home! Sometimes you look at a new family member and it’s immediately clear that this is Richard or Fluff. But sometimes coming up with a name for a kitten becomes a difficult task comparable to choosing a name for a newborn and the subject of many hours of discussion among the family. Choosing a name for a cat is a very responsible task. After all, a nickname is not just a set of sounds, it’s destiny! The nickname affects the pet’s character and can enhance its positive qualities or smooth out negative ones.

Experts in all the intricacies of choosing a name have recently been talking not only about name compatibility for couples, suitable or inappropriate middle names, but also the need for a favorable combination of the owner’s name and the pet’s nickname . A correctly chosen nickname will help establish harmonious relationships and better mutual understanding between the owner and his pet.

I don’t want to give an alphabetical list of all possible cat names, as is usually done on thematic sites. Instead, to ease the creative torment of new owners, we offer several ideas - what to name the cat .

Traditional cat names

Famous cat names

Nicknames of cats and kittens by appearance

Nicknames of cats and cats, consonant with their breed

Nicknames of cats and kittens in memory of wild relatives

Nicknames of cats and female cats based on their character and behavioral characteristics

The cat’s special taste preferences may also suggest a suitable nickname :

You can name your cat after your favorite cartoon or movie character, literary or mythological character.

Some people name their cats after celebrities - singers, actors, athletes, writers, historical figures, pioneers, TV presenters and even politicians . This can be either a tribute to one’s idol or a humorous approach - at one time, ginger cats were often called Chubais. And for black and white, the nickname Chaplin is quite suitable.

Nicknames of cats and kittens by profession or hobby of the owner

Football fans sometimes name cats after their team, car enthusiasts - their favorite brand of car, climbers - after the names of conquered peaks, travelers borrow beautiful names from the world map, and computer scientists and financiers use their professional terms. Fashionistas can name a cat after their favorite brand, flower growers - after an exotic plant, and a sweet tooth - after their favorite delicacy. Here are just a few examples, the list in this case can be continued indefinitely:

The nickname of your favorite cat is a dream come true.

Have you heard anything about the power of thought? Some psychologists recommend, as often as possible, in the midst of everyday hustle and bustle, to find time to remember your dreams and desires - with love, good mood and the brightest emotions. This will give them the strength to bring it to life. Give your kitten an appropriate name and let your new furry friend become a walking reminder of your dreams! It is pointless to give a list of examples, because dreams rush into infinity and everyone has their own.

When choosing a cat's name, a Russian language dictionary can provide invaluable help - both to search for the most sonorous synonyms of the desired semantic load of the name, and to check the selected name for the presence of additional undesirable meanings.

Do you know any foreign language perfectly? Then your creative possibilities increase! Try to convey the appropriate meaning in English, French, Spanish or other words close to your ear and heart. For example, for a spotted, very nimble kitten, the name Cheetah would be appropriate in essence, but the sound is somehow incommensurable. But the name Cheetos (from English cheetah) is just right! You can also use the peculiarities of word formation to give the chosen basis additional national flavor: the restless cat named Lizka will become more aristocratic and flirtatious if she is called Lisette.

For those who want to “consult the stars” when choosing a name for a pet: “ Name of the cat according to the zodiac sign, basics of numerology.”

What to name a cat?

The Hermitage staff have vast experience in coming up with all kinds of cat names. More than 50 cats work in this famous Treasury of world art masterpieces. Rotation of “personnel” is required, and irresponsible citizens often throw annoying pets into the museum - that’s why the Hermitage cats are periodically given new owners. Even with such a “turnover”, employees try to carefully choose names that suit the character of each specific cat. When all the traditional cat names ran out, the knowledge of history, geography and art came to the aid of the museum staff - cats began to be named after ancient gods, famous artists, countries and even American and Indian states.

Another famous establishment where more than 120 cats work is the Yuri Kuklachev Cat Theater. I wonder how the “cat dad” comes up with the names of all his pets? Among the tailed artists there are Sprat, Fifa, Kutka, Mikhey, Strelka, Charlik, Mercedes, Kesha, Mitya, Knopka, Manyunya, Fantik and, of course, the famous cat Boris, who advertises Kitikat cat food on TV screens. Each cat has a special character trait or something in their appearance, thanks to which the artists receive their personal nickname. For example, it’s immediately clear why the slender ginger cat was named Carrot! Sometimes the reason for appropriating an estate can be a personal story. So, the tailed artist Sosika began to be called that because the trainer picked her up at the market, where the nimble cat stole the sausages and caused a terrible commotion.

We hope that these ideas will serve as a source of inexhaustible inspiration and help you choose the most suitable name for your new purring family member!

How to choose a name for a boy kitten?

Before naming a kitten a boy, you need to carefully study the habits of your pet. Look at what he likes, how he behaves in certain situations, what he looks like (color, eye shade, fur length, body structure). Fortunately, today you are not limited in any way in your imagination - along with traditional nicknames, there are original options borrowed from other countries and cultures.

Before you start to understand all this variety of names, I recommend that you check your pet. This may sound funny, but many owners eventually find out that their cat turns out to be a kitty. An error in the initial determination of gender leads to the fact that Vasily can suddenly become Vasilisa.

If you are 100% sure that the kitten in front of you is a boy, it’s time to start choosing a name. Today there are a huge number of categories of nicknames for animals. It can be:

• human names;
• names of characters in books, films or TV series;
• abstract phenomena;
• natural phenomena, which are often given based on the color of the pet (Snowball, Foggy - from English Fog).

In any case, the main thing is to choose a nickname for the boy’s kitten that your furry friend would instantly respond to. To do this, I recommend that you pay attention to simpler names, consisting of a maximum of three syllables.

How to accustom a kitten to a name?

After choosing a nickname for the cat, you need to accustom the fluffy to his name as quickly as possible. To do this, I recommend that you proceed according to the following scheme:

1. You call the kitten to you and show that you have food in your hands. Be sure to let your baby smell it.
2. After that, say the name of the fluffy again and this time put the food in the cat's bowl.
3. Be sure to praise your pet for its efforts.

Over time, the cat’s conditioned reflex will begin to work, and he will learn to respond to his nickname.

Cool German names

You don't see German names often. They are harsh in pronunciation, but are easier for dogs to remember. The non-trivial nickname is very convenient - after all, such a name will be the only one among dog friends. This means that calling only your pet will be much easier.

There is such a widespread belief that cats do not like water, however, some representatives of this species break all existing stereotypes. There are yard seals that love to splash around, and there are also several waterfowl breeds, which include the Turkish Van, Angora, Bobtail, and Bengal cat. Well, how can one not highlight this unique quality for a cat? Suitable nicknames for the cat are Sailor, Fisherman, Sailor, Matroskin, Cruiser, Varyag. Also, a marine theme is perfect for cats with striped fur coats.

Another way to reward your pet with a funny nickname at the same time, but at the same time highlight that he has already become practically a member of the family, is to give him a nickname derived from the name of the owner. For example, Peter’s cat will be Petrovich, Sergei’s will be Sergeevich. Not all owners are inclined to humorous names and sometimes want something more euphonious.
