Advice.
Write down all the names you like on a piece of paper. There should be no more than 10 of them, otherwise it will be difficult to choose. Then see which nickname suits your cat best. You can rely on the animal’s appearance, coat color, its temperament and character, and breed. Or you can just give it some original, funny and overseas name.
On our website you can view lists of nicknames for breeds such as British, Scottish, Sphynx, Bengal, Maine Coon, Persian, Siamese and Abyssinian.
How does a kitten remember its name?
Cats are able to readily respond to nicknames that contain hissing sounds . Experts (felinologists) involved in keeping and breeding cats advise choosing a nickname for the animal that is no longer than two to three syllables. Otherwise, it will be more difficult for the animal to remember.
Before choosing a name for a cat, you should observe how she behaves and what her character traits are. It is possible that they will help you make the right choice regarding the name.
The kitten will remember its name faster if it has two or three syllables
An animal will quickly learn to respond to a nickname given to it if it first becomes familiar with the sound of its owner’s voice. You should constantly talk with the animal, maintaining an even tone in the conversation. When the kitten approaches at the sound of a voice, you need to caress it, stroking it and praising it. If it's time to feed, you should give the baby food, calling him by name. At the same time, you can stimulate its action by beckoning with your finger.
After about two weeks of such training, the kitten becomes aware of the relationship between voice and feeding. Then you can move on to the next step in teaching your baby his name:
- For the lesson, choose a separate room and call the kitten by name.
- When he comes up, you need to pet him and treat him with something tasty.
- Gradually, the amount of treats given is reduced, paying more attention to stroking the cat and not forgetting to praise it.
- During these activities, the animal will get used to its name and will respond to it.
When it responds to a nickname, and not to the call “kitty-kitty,” you can be sure that the animal will not approach a stranger during a walk. A cat is able to remember its name well. If she does not respond to the owner’s voice, then this is most likely not from a lack of intelligence, but from harmfulness.
