And if someone has a kitten in his life, then he must have a name, because sometimes you need to swear at him, sometimes to praise or just play with this “colorful lump”.
Choosing a name is a very complicated, but fascinating procedure, because the nickname must correspond to the behavior, character and appearance of the pet. In order to come up with the most suitable and cool name for a kitten, you should familiarize yourself with the features of the choice and either choose something from the existing one or, based on the above examples, come up with something your own no less suitable and fun.
Features of choice
Often a pet is purchased right away with documents from some breeders, in which case he already has a name and it is not advisable to rename it if the kitten is already 2-3 weeks old, because he can already get used to his name. But the nickname is usually selected taking into account all the qualities of the pet and possible exhibitions and performances in the future. It turns out that at the plant, the nickname of the pet is painstaking and often this is a very good option.
But if you still do not like the name of your pet or it does not yet have a name, then several features should be considered. Scottish cats differ from most breeds in their coat, ears, muzzle and manner.
Therefore, picking a nickname for a kitten-girl in such a situation is not easy and should be repelled from several features.
