Kittens Weiss and Ice:
General rules for creating nicknames
The main motto of experienced owners is brevity.
In official nurseries, purebred cats are usually named using a formula. The date of birth, month, year are taken into account; kittens from the same litter are often given names starting with the same letter.
In addition, the main part is plus a prefix - the name of the club or a characteristic feature of the breed (Baby Boo, Long Tale, Blue Mur). Suffixes are the names of the parents or the geographical location of the nursery.
There are other official rules:
- Mandatory entry of the name in the stud book.
- The nickname size is 20-40 characters.
- Reuse of a nickname is possible only after 30 years.
Those nicknames that include whistling and hissing sounds (“s”, “sch”, “sh”, “ch”, “zh”, “ts”, “z”) are better remembered. The optimal size is 3-5 letters, 2 syllables with emphasis on the first.
Cats need a sonorous word that can be heard with any intonation . If the club chooses a nickname that is too inconvenient, it is shortened (Friederich von Adam - Fedya, Free, Adam; Caroline White Wool - Woolley, Carrie).
It is recommended to avoid words similar to harsh “command” words (“Shoot,” “Shoot,” “Get out”). It is better not to name your pet after family members, deceased pets, or close relatives. With a nickname they try to emphasize the individuality of the animal: the color of its fur, eyes, special habits, temperament, character.
Cat breeds with snow-white fur
Genetic scientists have found that the white color of the fur in cats is due to three different factors:
- Hereditary recessive congenital lack of pigment (albinism) . An albino cat may have blue or red eyes due to a lack of pigment in the iris. The gene that causes albinism (ca) blocks the production of enzymes responsible for the synthesis of pigments.
- The merging of white spots into a solid color . The white spot factor (S) causes zonal depigmentation, the coat is not solid white, but spotted. But in some cases, the size of the spots is so large and they are located so densely that the coat appears completely snow-white.
- The presence in the genotype of a dominant gene (W) of white color. It completely suppresses the expression of genes of other colors that are in the cat’s chromosome set. And if you cross such a white cat with a heterozygous female (W/w), then colored kittens may appear in the litter.
By the way, the gene responsible for the anomaly in the shape of the inner ear, which causes deafness, is linked only to the S and W genes. But albino cats hear perfectly. Thus, the genes responsible for white coat color can be present in cats of any breed, but most often it occurs in:
- Turkish Angoras;
- Foreign Whites - white Siamese cats;
- Turkish Vanirs;
- Khao Mani - white cats from Thailand.
When choosing a name for a snow-white baby, you can combine several factors - choose the most beautiful name among those characteristic of the kitten’s homeland, or one whose meaning describes the pet’s character.

This is another great idea to name your cat in an original way. After all, almost each of us has a favorite movie or television series character. It is this affection that can be reflected in the appropriate nickname.
The cat can be called Avatara, Britney, Barbie, Greta, Vivienne, Lauren, Longoria, Gina Eden, Zhinuaria, Josephine, Matahari, Madonna, Pinky, Rosetta, Odetta, Penelope, Troy, Timothy, Emmanuelle, Shakira, Justine, Justine, Wild Rose , Yudashkina, Yurmola, Sharon, Teresa, Weaver, Susie, Campbell, Esmeralda, Emeralda.
What not to call white kittens
The choice of name depends only on the owner himself; there are no complete restrictions on this. The decision is best made by the whole family, with the direct participation of the future owner, even if it is a child. Avoid nicknames that offend the animal or hint at its weaknesses.
Attention! Using the names of deceased pets can cause psychological trauma; reminders of the past will block love for a new cat.
Another criterion is compliance and non-compliance with appearance. There will be no practical disadvantages if the white kitten is called Coal, but from a semantic point of view this is incorrect.
The proverb: “As you name a ship, so it will sail” works with character. Names can smooth out negative traits or give new ones.
“White” in languages of the world
You can also choose a foreign word meaning “white” as a nickname.
