Safety precautions or what not to call a pet.
I don’t argue, it’s cool to name your cat: Shish kebab or Pelmen, Mouse or Pomoika, Piglet or Piglet. Yes, it’s funny, cool, but if you think about it, our animals, in many ways, are an expression of our attitude towards life, towards ourselves, towards people, and towards everything! After all, if a person is cruel to animals, then most likely he is cruel to those around him (to loved ones or even strangers). And if you also name your (unfortunate) animal: Creepy, Reptile, Demon, Screwdriver (alcoholic mixture), Gnaw, Lace, Work (from the word “slave”), Kronos - (and imagine, some of their cats also call their cats with such nicknames) , so, in this case, you don’t expect anything good, either from an animal or from life. Why is that? Yes, because everything that surrounds us quite strongly and actively influences us, both inanimate and naturally animate. Well, if you call your cat, for example, the cool nickname “Chaos,” then you will get (believe me), in relationships, in business, in life, only chaos and confusion, etc., etc. So don’t call your mustachioed and tailed ones: Smog, Ash, Tyrant, Brawler, Seth (desert god), Lucifrif, Godzilla, Wasabi, Sprat, Whiskas or even Bastard (!) - no need, no need to spoil your beloved aura, karma, your body, your soul and of course your beautiful, bright, wonderful life. And you should also not name your pet in honor of your friend or any other person, this will not bring anything good, neither to you, nor to the pet, nor to the person in whose honor the nickname is.
