Gray kittens have a unique inimitable appearance and some special, like a royal, charm. It is for this reason that their owners want to give their pets an appropriate beautiful and unusual nickname. In order to facilitate the choice, in this article we will consider the most unusual, bright, original and simply popular nicknames for these pets, and also tell you how to choose them correctly.
Features of choice
It is important to know that cats with gray hair are considered to be protectors of the house and all family members. Moreover, they protect not only from rodents, but also from negative energy. For this reason, you can call a gray kitten some mystical name for a good hero - and it will be perfect for him.
In general, you can give your pet absolutely any nickname. True, be sure to remember the following rules.
- Nicknames that are too long are best avoided. The animal will remember its new name for a long time, so sometimes you need to spend a lot of time to call the pet to yourself. If the kitten is thoroughbred and the nickname is already inscribed in the passport, it is better to use its shortened version.
- The nickname of a pet leaves a certain imprint on his character and further behavior. Everything here is like people. Therefore, you should choose the most good-natured and supportive nicknames, so as not to regret your choice later.
- You can call your pet, considering not only its noble color, but also cat's habits. They are unique for each animal, so with a proper approach to the selection, you can come up with some rare or original nickname.
- Zoopsychologists insist that the nickname should be not only sonorous and memorable, but also that it should have hissing or at least just voiced sounds. Such cat nicknames are better remembered and respond more favorably to them.
Recently, the tendency to give their pets some unusual funny, and sometimes even not very cultural nicknames is gaining popularity.
This choice should be discarded. The animal itself will experience discomfort, and if necessary, the owner will already blush in the presence of other people.
Therefore, choose a nickname for a gray kitten based on the recommendations of zoopsychologists, the characteristics of his character or color, as well as food preferences. Having assessed all these factors together, you can choose a truly unique, harmonious and beautiful name for a cat or cat of gray color.
