Having brought the pet, owners sometimes in the days think over what name to choose to the new family member. Some call a dog or a cat "Fluffy" or "Beauty" to emphasize qualities which it is pleasant to them to see others choose names of heroes of movies for the favourites. Some owners prefer to give to the animals ridiculous nicknames.
To go by contradiction
Knowing a nickname of an animal – the Down, it is logical to expect to see a lazy fluffy cat, and having heard "Horror", to represent a huge mastiff or a furious sheep-dog. However some owners jokers are capable to call by the name Down a beautiful lean Dobermann terrier, and the Horror to christen a chihuahua who is hardly capable to frighten someone. Call the pet by that quality which in it you will not find in any way, and it for certain will be amusing.
Sofa politicianIt is amusing to observe the animals externally similar to the famous people, and received for this similarity and a similar name. With the drawing near by reminding Stalin's mustache it is possible to name a cat by Iosif Vissarionovich, the terrier or a schnauzer at whom, according to standards of breed, over eyes leave smart bushy eyebrows can be christened Brezhnev. At many pets it is possible to find similarity to the famous persons, it is only necessary to look narrowly.
Custom is second natureMany pets possess amusing habits. They go to bed in a tray in a toilet though they have a convenient stove bench, hang on a wall carpet, steal stale long loaf though in their bowl there is a normal food, catch on the street of caterpillars and prefer to have a rest only on Karl Marx's "Capital". It is not surprising that owners, looking at addictions of the favourites, give them the corresponding names. A tray, Mucha, the Caterpillar, Long loaf, the Capital – at first sight amusing and strange, but in effect lovely nicknames which a lot of things will be told about an animal who carries them.
To realize dreams into reality
How often dreams do not coincide with reality. For example, many teenagers dream of German shepherds. It is possible to call such dog Rex, in honor of a dog from series "Commissioner Rex", to be engaged with her on the dog platform, and as a result the dog will become the true friend devoted and clever. But the constrained room conditions not always allow to hold at themselves so large dog, and as a result it is necessary to be content with smaller animals. So there are Reksa's toy terriers, Betkhovena's cats, Yorkshire terriers of Lesya and the other embodiments of unfulfilled dreams.
So dog or cat?
Some owners do not trouble themselves the composition of nicknames for the animals and all life call a cat the Cat, and a dog – the Dog. It is possible to amuse guests and to bring small turmoil if to trade names of animals places. A cat by nickname "Mouse", a dog by nickname "Cat" and a domestic canary the Turtle look far more funny.
