Useful tips
Experienced cat breeders do not recommend naming your pet a name that is too long, difficult to pronounce, or complicated. Firstly, this will greatly complicate the process of the kitten getting used to its name, and, secondly, it will be problematic for the owner himself to constantly address the pet by name. It’s great if the animal’s nickname has one or two syllables.
After the search for a suitable name for a small pet is completed, you should begin training the kitten.
In order for the baby to be able to quickly remember his name, it is necessary to regularly and clearly pronounce it out loud while feeding the animal and during games.
Each kitten's response to its name must be rewarded with a treat.
In the process of training an animal, you cannot shorten or modify its name in any way (for example, pronounce it in a diminutive form). Communication with the kitten should take place in a calm environment without strangers or distractions. Calling an animal by name must be in a clear, even and not very loud voice. While training a kitten, you are not allowed to shout or raise your voice at it.
