The number of lovers of cats is huge, millions of people adore their beloved pets, cherish them and try in every possible way to please their handsome men. And, of course, as soon as a fluffy bundle appears in the apartment, the problem immediately arises of choosing a name for this tiny creature. Simple people do not particularly bother looking for a nickname, and give the newly-arrived member of the family the standard names - Murchik, Barsik, Musik, Pushok. But creative people try to excel in this matter. They do not want to replenish the rows of domestic cats with another Matroskin or Kuzey. No, these names also sound great, and we do not want to offend your sweet meowing friends. Just let's come to a decision of this issue a little out of the box, looking at a few very original options.
A few tips for choosing a name for a cat
It is possible to be original, revising long lists of names for cats on the Internet, but it is always desirable to use several wise rules:
- The name of a cat or cat should not be incredibly long, the best option is a word consisting of a pair of syllables;
- try to find a harmonious name, ending with a vowel sound;
- cats like when their name has hissing sounds;
- it is undesirable to give the animals human names, calling a pet on the street, you can unintentionally and painfully offend someone you know or a neighbor.
- It is not necessary to use names that are consonant with those already possessed by other four-legged inhabitants of the house.
- calling the cat definitively, do not distort this word more, using diminutives, the animal will be lost and not understand the wishes of the owner.
It is clear that some lovers do not like these advice. For example, Kotov Boris or Vaska is full of ordinary people, but it's better to consider the circle of your friends and their relationship to this topic, and only then carefully think over what name to give the kitten to the boy.
Some criteria when choosing a cat name
- The most common way - to reflect in the nickname special features of appearance, breed or nature of the pet. For example, the name for a British kitten boy, whom you plan to carry to the exhibition should sound noble and with a foreign accent. Lord, Alex, Blake, Barney or Aston fit him quite normally. Select coloring can be easily, using the derivatives of English words - Whitey for white cats, Smokey - for smoky, Mulatto or Blackie for a black tomboy.
- When buying an animal in a good nursery, it can already have a nickname, which is recorded in official documents. There are rules that determine which letter the word should begin with. That's why sometimes the names for lop-eared kittens of boys or other thoroughbred pets sound unusual. For convenience, breeders do not hurry and negotiate with potential owners, only pointing in the passport the first letter of the word, so that the hosts themselves could fantasize in this matter further. Often the owners do not like this approach, and they use a double name - one is used for home, and the second is purely for documentation.
- There is an opinion that the nickname can greatly change the behavior of the animal. Maybe you should not call a fluffy tomboy Zabiyaka, Buyan, Varyag or Pirate, if you want him to grow up a calm and complaisant friend.
- Sometimes owners transfer their hobbies to pets, calling them words from professional jargon or using scientific terms. It's not uncommon when hackers or fans of computer networks choose the original name for a kitten in the style of Pascal, Byte, Linux or Widget. Philosophers or mystics, of course, prefer nicknames with a historical bias - Paracelsus, Mystic, Astral.
Names for kittens of boys should be liked by their owners. When pets stubbornly do not go for a call, then it is worth thinking about the change of nicknames. A quick response is a sign of the right choice.
