A simple and standard name is absolutely not suitable for a Scottish fold cat. These pets are distinguished not only by their special appearance, but also by their unusual character. Such a name as Vaska or Baska is completely inappropriate for a thoroughbred pet. You need to choose more noble and unusual nicknames.
Breed features
To begin with, it is worth a little talk about the features of the breed. Scottish fold cats differ from other cats not only in their characteristic external data, but also in their disposition. As a rule, for the most part these are playful cats that behave quite calmly and completely non-aggressively. Pet owners note that cats have a very soft character and are not able to cause harm. They are very careful and attentive to even the smallest family members.
We can safely say that these are cute and friendly cats. For this reason, many owners try to choose cute nicknames for them, and someone chooses cool names, given the cheerful nature of their pet. Separately, it is worth mentioning that cats of this breed always choose one pet from all family members and show special love and devotion to him. It turns out that the cat will consider only one person from a large family to be its real owner. But the pet will treat the rest of the family members as politely as possible.
As already mentioned, fold Scottish cats are not ordinary pets at all. Sometimes in their character are the features of real aristocrats. They are held with great dignity and nobility. And sometimes they can even behave too arrogantly.
This once again confirms the fact that a simple nickname doesn’t work for such a cat. These should be beautiful and noble cat names that will emphasize the individuality and peculiarity of the cat in an advantageous way. When choosing a nickname for your pet, remember that it should not be too complicated and long.
