Names for cats

When a kitten appears in the house, the family matures the question of how to name a new member of the family. Foreign names such as Juliet, Gabriella or Augustus are no longer in vogue - Russian culture is now valued. Therefore, Muski and Vaska again return to Russian homes. You can choose a simple popular Russian nickname, or you can pick up an unusual option.

How to choose a nickname?

Speaking of a Russian cat nickname, one should not immediately recall the outdated village names, because among Russian nicknames there are very beautiful options, for example: Marquis, Orpheus, Agatha. Such a name is quite suitable for a thoroughbred animal. In general, when choosing a nickname for a cat, you can use some recommendations.

The name must contain vowels and consonants. Try to pick a nickname consisting of at least two syllables. If this word has one vowel, then probably the name contains several consonants that are nearby, and this is difficult for pronunciation, and the pet may not like this name.
It is advisable to choose a nickname that contains hissing sounds. Kittens respond well to "W" and "H", quickly remember such words and respond well.
Do not use a tricky, too complex nickname. If you still want to call a cat a beautiful long Russian name, then use this nickname in everyday life. So the owner will be easier to pronounce, and the pet is easier to remember. For example, Apollinaria can be reduced to Poly.
When choosing a nickname for a kitten, remember that someday he will turn into an adult cat, and then, for example, a name like Baby will seem very ridiculous for the majestic Maine Coon. Such nicknames are acceptable for dwarf cats.
If a kitten is bought as a gift to a child, then let him choose a name for his pet. And parents have fewer problems, and the young owner himself will do something interesting for him.
You can arrange a family council and resolve the issue using the draw. Have everyone write two favorite names on pieces of paper. The youngest member of the family will pull out one of the pieces of paper - this name will be called the pet. The choice can be given to the kitten itself. Most likely, he will be interested in rustling pieces of paper. The one that will appeal to him the most can be decisive.
