It is no longer enough to name a cat Vaska, or a dog Sharik or some other suitable object.
Experts advise choosing nicknames that are loud, bright, and memorable. This will increase the chances that the pet will respond and come to the owner's voice if it suddenly gets lost or in another situation.
We will tell you what points you need to consider when choosing a name for your four-legged friend.
How to choose a nickname
First of all, don't rush to "name" a cat or dog by the option you've liked for a long time. Observe. There's a high probability that the character doesn't match. Whether the principle Nomen est omen works in the animal world - only animals know.
Secondly, don't delay your choice. Try to do it within 1-2 weeks. The longer you wait, the harder it is for the cat or dog to get used to its name.
Thirdly, funny names are still a thing, but it is important that it is a short name. A long set of sounds will be hard for a pet to remember.
The ideal option is considered to be 2-3 syllables.
And if you choose a name for a cat, you must definitely add whistling sounds.
Fourthly, the nickname should correspond to the size of the animal and its breed.
