Useful tips

Following simple tips from breeders and cat owners will allow you to choose a unique and very beautiful name for your pet:

The animal's name should not be long or cumbersome. The best options are names with 2-3 syllables. Longer versions of nicknames are very difficult for cats to remember.
When choosing a name for your pet, you should avoid offensive nicknames or those names that contain rough vocabulary or complex construction. It is better to opt for a simple nickname that all family members can easily pronounce.
In the nicknames of ginger cats, it is desirable to have hissing sounds or whistling consonants . Such names are remembered very quickly by purrs and they happily run to the owner when called.
When purchasing an animal in a nursery, you can come across a wide variety of very long nicknames indicated in the passport. However, it is not at all necessary to call them “home” when addressing a cat. It's better to come up with a nicer and shorter abbreviation. For example, Maximillian Caesarius Richter Mondelstein can be safely called Maksik, and Laurelia Sigismundovna Akseliyarovna can be called Laura at home.
Breeders and acquaintances advise on the best name for your pet. However, no recommendations regarding the name of the animal should confuse the new owner. It is absolutely not necessary to follow the lead of your friends and name the kitten with a name that seems to be modern, but is not at all to your liking. It is best to gather all members of the family where the animal lives on a quiet evening and come up with a nickname that everyone will like. And let it not be modern, but how nice it will be to call your pet with it.

Inspiration from nature

You can come up with absolutely any nickname for your cat. The main thing is that it suits him and is easy to pronounce. The idea for a cat name can come out of nowhere.

Features of choice in purebred animals

In the case of purebred cats, popular names are often dictated by the requirements of the pedigree, the national epithet in the name of the breed and its color. In some cases, names are transformed into two- and three-syllable constructions indicating famous ancestors from whom the family tree is traced. The most popular nicknames can be a simple diminutive version of any of the words of the construction, and it itself cannot be pronounced.

British gray cats, which have a slightly smiling face and large round eyes that create the impression of eternal surprise, are not very affectionate and do not like to be picked up. For such a cat, one begs for names: Lord, Balthazar, Gray, Prince, Sax, Rex, Gabriel, Sigrid, Laertes or Maximus, Patrick, Salazar, with the inevitable addition of First, Second, or Third, or even in Latin - Primus, Quintilian, Patrician. Oddly enough, sometimes owners have poor imagination and call the cat a Russian name like Dymok or Fluff, which is completely inappropriate to the character or characteristics of the breed. When choosing a name for a purebred cat, you should prefer a polysyllabic foreign one or at least a title - Marquis, Duke, Rex or Chevalier. The affectionate form will come in communication. The same rules apply to blue British cats.

Names for Scottish boys' cats are usually chosen whimsically, taking into account everything that comes to mind when mentioning their homeland of Scotland, combining several distinctive features. The following names are always relevant for a Scottish cat: Lion, Liam, Garfield, Arnie, Silver, Watson, Walker, Daniels, Whiskey, Rob, Holmes, Gray, Bernard, Logan and Paul. The Russian eponym must be added taking into account the English translation. If the cat, for example, is smart (Paul) or dexterous (Logan), it’s easy to add a word with a hint of love and irony - Velvet, Velvet, Veniamin (broom), Diamond or Chocolate. And the third component is a matter of love and affection - Lyubchik, Medok, Honey, Peach, Belyashik or Behemoth.

But there is no way to call a Siamese cat by a Russian name. These are aristocrats among cat aristocrats, often the smartest of purebred cats, the most independent and at the same time capable of strong attachment to their owner or mistress. They are usually given names that are not so much original as reflecting character and disposition or a mysterious and mysterious historical affiliation. They are characterized by the names Luxor, Esfahan, Siam, Lalaj, Simon, Pharaoh, Phuket, Marcus. Ernest Hemingway is credited with the quote, “A Siamese cat is the best thing that can happen to a person.” Therefore, the name Ernest for a Siamese boy will also be wonderful.
