Did you buy a cat? It is a high time to pick up to him a suitable name. It is not as simple as can seem. Often owners should think properly before they pick up to the pet the interesting, not banal and pleasant to all in the house nickname.
Instruction
1. Estimate appearance of the new resident. Perhaps, he will prompt the future name. And there is a wish to call a snow-white cat the White hare or Belyash, the small animal of a bright orange coloring will suit the plain nickname Saffron milk cap. If you bought a thoroughbred animal, it, most likely, already has the passport. Perhaps, "the patrimonial name" of the pet will be pleasant to you. Otherwise it can pick up other, house nickname.
2. Do not choose compound words in pronouncing – most likely, in use you will call an animal by the reduced name, and it can be less harmonious. Sometimes the nickname which is picked up with imagination cannot just use. It is quite logical to call a snow-white Persian kitty Desdemona, however as you will call her in life?
3. Do not give to a cat the nickname in consonance with names of the family members or other animals living in the house. Cats are not able to remember difficult verbal designs – they identify some familiar syllables. Having heard similar words, they will be confused, and as a result in general will cease to react to call.
4. You should not call an animal by the human names. It is possible that in your circle of friends the namesake of your cat unexpectedly will appear – he can take offense. Some owners name new animals of the died pets. In it there is nothing terrible, however keep in mind that the new cat can be the complete antithesis old, have completely different character and habits. Experienced manufacturers recommend to take a part of a name of the former favourite and to add it. For example, in honor of the died Sheba's cat it is possible to call a new kitten of Shebalu.
5. Felinologists consider that cats are not indifferent to names with a large number of the same vowels or consisting of the repeating syllables - for example Mimi, Lily, Koko. Experts on foreign languages should think whether there will be appropriate an original name it seems Snouboll (snowball) or Duser (mollycoddle). Will just bother to explain to you to the amazed friends and relatives why the kitten is called so strange.
6. Consider that the lovely down ball in a year will turn into a large cat, and in years five will become an impressive lazy animal. Whether the sweet children's name which you chose will suit it? Call a kitten "for growth". If you got a thoroughbred animal, look at the picture in the atlas of breeds and select a nickname not charming to a crumb, but a huge Maine Coon or the severe Norwegian.
7. Having chosen several suitable names, take a kitten and in turn pronounce them to him, monitoring reaction of an animal. The small animal reacted to one of them especially vividly? Perhaps, this combination of letters seems to it the most pleasant. The opinion of future carrier of a nickname should be considered too.
