Beautiful and bright nicknames
Little kittens are incredibly cute. It’s not surprising that you want to name your furry baby beautifully. For some reason, there is an opinion that purebred cats should be given sophisticated names, and mongrel cats should be given simpler nicknames. Masya and Murka are the leaders in this case. However, there are no purebred cats, and every purring cat deserves to be loved, which means it deserves a bright, sonorous nickname.

How does a kitten remember its name?
Cats are able to readily respond to nicknames that contain hissing sounds . Experts (felinologists) involved in keeping and breeding cats advise choosing a nickname for the animal that is no longer than two to three syllables. Otherwise, it will be more difficult for the animal to remember.
Before choosing a name for a cat, you should observe how she behaves and what her character traits are. It is possible that they will help you make the right choice regarding the name.
The kitten will remember its name faster if it has two or three syllables
An animal will quickly learn to respond to a nickname given to it if it first becomes familiar with the sound of its owner’s voice. You should constantly talk with the animal, maintaining an even tone in the conversation. When the kitten approaches at the sound of a voice, you need to caress it, stroking it and praising it. If it's time to feed, you should give the baby food, calling him by name. At the same time, you can stimulate its action by beckoning with your finger.
After about two weeks of such training, the kitten becomes aware of the relationship between voice and feeding. Then you can move on to the next step in teaching your baby his name:
- For the lesson, choose a separate room and call the kitten by name.
- When he comes up, you need to pet him and treat him with something tasty.
- Gradually, the amount of treats given is reduced, paying more attention to stroking the cat and not forgetting to praise it.
- During these activities, the animal will get used to its name and will respond to it.
When it responds to a nickname, and not to the call “kitty-kitty,” you can be sure that the animal will not approach a stranger during a walk. A cat is able to remember its name well. If she does not respond to the owner’s voice, then this is most likely not from a lack of intelligence, but from harmfulness.
Rare and unusual names
For every owner, his cat is a unique creature, extremely intelligent and strikingly beautiful. And this is great, because this attitude encourages you to give your pet an unusual, exclusive name, for example:

Famous tabby cats
Many mustachioed stripes played roles in films and also became cartoon characters. And their names can be taken as a basis when choosing a nickname for your tailed friend.
- Jonesy from the movie Alien. The red tabby cat in the film was a passenger on a spaceship. Interestingly, this role was played by as many as four cats.
- Cat from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". This cat without a name was played by a red-tailed cat, whose real name is Ryzhik.
- Brad Pitt from the film “I Want Like Bridget.” The main character named this red striped handsome man in honor of her favorite actor.
- Bob from the movie "A Street Cat Named Bob." This red-haired furry played himself in the biographical film and helped the main character improve his difficult life.
- Ulysses from Inside Llewyn Davis. And again, another redhead who became the main character of the film and brought a special charm to it.
- Lucky from the series "Alf". A furry alien repeatedly tried to eat this poor fellow, but the baby, fortunately, remained unharmed.
- Cat from the film "The Godfather". This is a simple tabby cat with no name, which actually ended up in the frame completely by accident, because she was just running around the set.
- Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. The fluffy, smiling handsome man became one of the main characters of the film fairy tale and was very much loved by the audience.
- "Tonto" from the movie "Harry and Tonto". An orange tabby cat travels with its owner, a pensioner evicted from his own home.
- Garfield from the film of the same name. The cartoonish fat ginger loves to eat, but sometimes gets distracted from what he loves to do to help his careless owner.
- Pepper from the film "Gentlemen's Games". Perchik lived quietly with his mistress, but after an adventurer appeared in the house, he joined a gang of criminals.
- Matroskin from a series of cartoons about the village of Prostokvashino. Perhaps the most beloved cat from the old Soviet past.

Nicknames by color
A popular way to choose a name for your pet is by coat color. For example, a cat with snow-white fur can be called Snezha, Bianka, Ice, Snow, and a smoky cat can be called Shadow (“shadow”), Dymka, Pepper (“pepper”). For a female kitten of black color, nicknames are suitable - Voodoo of shades is simply amazing - from light peach to fiery red. Nicknames for them should be special: Burgundy, Terra, Flame, Foxy, Cherry.

Cat and name
Things to consider when choosing a cat name:
- It doesn’t matter to a cat exactly what it is called, as long as it is regularly called to the refrigerator and bowl. But scientists have long found out that for cats the first 3-4 sounds pronounced in the name are important: it is these that the animal hears well and recognizes as its nickname. Therefore, when determining what to call a cat girl, you should not invent long, intricate nicknames. Let polysyllabic nicknames for purebred animals remain in passports; a loving owner for a cat will find a homely, short and convenient name.
- Cats hear and perceive whistling and hissing sounds perfectly well, if they are present in the name, this is wonderful.
- It takes about a month for any feline to get used to a nickname. The consolidation of its name in the pet’s mind will happen faster if each time you pronounce the name, you give something tasty or caress it.
- Of course, the owner should like the nickname, because he will have to pronounce it often. Also, it is better for the cat owner not to give in to the momentary impulse to make a joke by naming his pet pretentiously or maliciously, because the joke will get boring, and the animal will get used to the name and it will be difficult to retrain it.
- It is not customary to give human names to cats - a woman with the same name can come to visit or become a relative. The exception is old Russian names that have fallen out of use (Adelaide, Aglaya, Praskovya) or foreign ones (Geraldine, Flora, Jessica, Sybil).
It is not customary to give human names to cats.
It happens that a cat stubbornly refuses to respond to the nickname chosen by the owner. Then it is better to give in to the animal and try to find a different name for it. But you shouldn’t get carried away with renaming a cat - in 2-3 attempts you can determine a suitable nickname.
