Breed Features
Siamese cats are incredibly beautiful, and the history of their species is surrounded by a lot of legends and myths. The most poetic legend about the Siamese concerns the very creation of the world. It follows from it that during the Flood, a lioness and a monkey met on the Ark. These cute animals could not remain indifferent to each other and, unexpectedly for themselves and the Creator himself, fell in love. The result of their love was the world's first Siamese cat.
The world received from this interspecies mixing an unprecedented breed: its habits are similar to those of a monkey, but its appearance, pride and wisdom are clearly that of a lion.
At the moment, there are more than eight species of this breed, differing in color. For example, the chocolate breed was discovered a relatively long time ago, but its official registration was carried out only in the fifties of the last century. It is quite difficult to remove such a color - stable pigmentation appears after a year.
Siamese cats are strong and graceful, which is due to the peculiarities of their structure and appearance:
- small wedge-shaped head;
- relatively large and slightly pointed ears;
- almond-shaped eyes;
- long thin neck;
- not very long, but muscular body;
- thin limbs;
- the front legs are smaller in size than the hind legs;
- long tail, tapering to the tip;
- short iridescent fur.
The choice of a beautiful name for such unique creatures must be approached most carefully, because the nickname of a Siamese kitten should emphasize its majestic origin, as well as reflect the main aspects of its character. And of course, the owner likes it. Therefore, before choosing a name for a new household member, try to understand what kind of temperament your pet has and what its basic habits are.

How to find a unique name for a kitten?
Of course, every pet owner wants their pet's name to sound beautiful and original. However, it is very difficult to find rare names for gray female kittens in atlases of nicknames and on thematic portals. As a rule, an incredible number of cats have already been named by these nicknames. But not everyone wants to come to the exhibition and be among its many namesakes.
Where can you look for a name that has no analogues or very few of them? At first glance, the task seems impossible. However, in reality it is not as complicated as many people think. The most common translator, which is available in every browser, can help you determine how to name a gray female kitten uniquely.
You need to observe the kitten’s habits and write down any associations that arise. For example, when a person looks at a baby playing, the word “ball” comes to mind. But it doesn’t seem entirely convenient to call a kitten that is going to participate in exhibitions that way. Other cats have sonorous names, and you don’t want to lag behind them. However, if the word is translated into English or any other language, then it may well become a beautiful and truly unique name. Glomerulus in English is glomerulus. The name formed from this word may well sound like this - Gloma, Glamers, Glameris, Glamra.
The chances of meeting another cat with the same name are not just small, they are practically non-existent. The nickname itself will be ideal for the kitten, since its meaning fully corresponds to the association that the owners have when looking at the mustachioed baby.
Famous people and animals
The Siamese breed is a symbol of a purposeful, successful person, which is why many prominent personalities have owned Siamese cats.
For example, chess player Alexander Alekhine had a cat, Chess, whom he took to all competitions as a mascot. The French cinematographer and writer Jean Cocteau had a favorite, Karun, in his old age.
The singer from the group Queen, the famous Freddie Mercury, had a cat Delilah. The famous actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan loved his cat Philosopher very much.
Many cat names repeat the names of historical figures or mythological characters:
- Ajax;
- Biron, Byron;
- Wagner, Watson, Wilson;
- Gavroche, Gibson;
- Danko;
- Euclid;
- Zorro, Zidane;
- Magellan, Milton, Medea;
- Napoleon, Nero;
- Odysseus, Orpheus;
- Pascal;
- Ronaldo;
- Solomon;
- Tyson;
- William, Ulysses, Winston;
- Caesar;
- Hey, Edison.
What other name options could there be?
A Siamese cat in human form would certainly be a successful, daring, purposeful person, so the names of celebrities, historical figures, and mythological characters are suitable for the breed. To emphasize the elite origin of the breed, you can give your pet an old European or intricate Asian name.
A great option is to give your purebred pet a double name. For example, Amalia Taya is suitable for a cat, Duke Benjamin is suitable for a cat.
Simple nicknames are also held in high esteem, but not entirely primitive. Barsik, Murzik, Pushok - calling a purebred Siamese pet this way is absurd. It's better to come up with a cool, funny nickname. The main thing is not to name the cat after a friend or neighbor, because the person may be offended.
Exotic nicknames
To distinguish the pet from other representatives of the breed, the owners choose an original nickname, which is probably not the name of any cat in the area. Friends and guests are delighted and amazed when the owner introduces the pet.
The choice of nicknames is greater than it might seem; look at the beautiful and original options for Siamese kittens in the table.

From films and TV series
When you think of cartoon kittens, a Siamese kitten named Woof comes to mind. It sounds cute, but you need to understand that the small animal will grow up to become a respectable and wayward cat, and the touching name will turn into a ridiculous one. Parents usually ask their children to choose a name for their pet, and they remember their favorite characters from cartoons and fairy tales. Think carefully about whether the nickname invented by a child is suitable for a Siamese cat, and whether it will become absurd in the future.
For purebred pets, it is better to choose the names of characters from films. Every adult has movie idols, remember a worthy option. It is desirable that the character be positive, with a positive destiny.

Breeders' recommendations
For the lucky owners of purebred cats of gray, white or red color, as a rule, the option with a name is already determined by the pedigree.
In cats, like dogs, names are given to all babies in the litter, starting with the letter that follows the mother's nickname.
Thus, if the mother of the kittens is named Indy, then the kittens in the litter will be named with the letter K: Cleo, Clyde, Xavier, Connie, Clementine, etc.
If your kitten’s passport and pedigree already have a name, then you don’t have to deviate from it, because the fluffy one was given it at birth.
However, there are often cases when owners do not like such nicknames, either they are too long or do not meet the owner’s expectations. Unfortunately, it is impossible to change the name in the pedigree; however, you can indicate the cat’s pet name in the veterinary passport.
About respect for the cat
Sounds a little strange. What kind of respect are we talking about if this is an ordinary cat? But we can say that he is not ordinary, this time. So, Siamese cats are very proud and a little wayward. If they fell in love with a person, they will be devoted to him. But the owner must treat the pet accordingly. No cruelty or shouting. Of course, a light slap on the back of the body with a newspaper does not count. But this is done only if the cat is caught at the scene of a crime, for example, stealing a cutlet straight from the frying pan. Or he did his toilet chores in the wrong place.
In other cases, we do not raise our voice to the animal. The cat will remember the insult. At best, it will be a scratch on your hand; at worst, it will be damaged shoes or clothes.
