One of the most attractive cats in the world, the Neva Masquerade , is the pride of Russian breeders. Thick soft fur, eyes the color of the sky, a dark muzzle against the background of a light fur coat - these are precisely the features nature has endowed these pets with. An unusual combination of features creates a special charm and attractiveness of appearance. Cats seem to feel their beauty and show it off with pleasure.
Once you see a masquerade kitten or an adult cat, it is impossible to remain indifferent. Handsome men make you fall in love at first sight. But external attractiveness is far from the only advantage of the Neva masquerade cat. Exquisite beauty is combined with a wonderful character and high intelligence.
General recommendations for choosing a nickname
- As a rule, there are no problems with choosing a name. In fact, you can name your pet anything and any word that most often comes to mind in association with a cat. You can base it on character, color, breed and much more. But in any case, you need to approach the selection of a nickname responsibly. A cat gets used to a certain word, and then it is almost impossible to retrain it to react to another.
- Whether or not you should call it by a human name is up to you to decide. However, it is still desirable that the nickname be a cat's. This will make it possible not to confuse possible guests or family members who have the same name.
- You should avoid nicknames that do not at all correlate with the appearance and character of the cat and are of a negative nature. Still, the nickname for a pet is given once and for all. You can give beautiful and affectionate names, which would fully convey all the respect and love of the owner for the pet.
- It is advisable to choose a consonant short name with two or three syllables, so that you can immediately and quickly call your pet to you. Often, in pursuit of an original name, owners choose nicknames that are too complex, thereby complicating the pronunciation and losing simplicity. Fortunately, beautiful sound does not interfere with simplicity. There are a lot of beautiful words that have only two or three syllables.
- Before giving an unusual name that is a word from another language, it is better to check the meaning. For example, you can take a lot of foreign names or words that mean a beautiful word in translation.
- A nickname will be very appropriate and convenient if it contains whistling and hissing sounds, because cats react very well to such sounds. For example, Kusya, Dusya. It is very good when the sounds “k” and “s” are combined in the name (Kisa, Xeon, Scarly). And it is also very undesirable to have only dull sounds, because in this way the word loses its sonority.
- After a kitten appears at home, you should immediately think about a nickname and soon start calling it that, so that the kitten gets used to its name once and for all and calls itself in the future.
So, what is a beautiful name for a cat?

The cat of amazing beauty appeared at the very end of the 20th century and immediately attracted attention at an exhibition in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg felinologists were involved in breeding the breed, which is why the breed received its first name.
The second name appeared due to the unusual color of the cat’s face, a little reminiscent of a masquerade mask from balls that have sunk into oblivion.

The only thing that remains constant is the mother of the family. The breed definitely originated from Siberian fluffy beauties.
