When you want to call a cat an original name, and not just Muska or Vaska, all your life experience and horizons come into play.
It is not a fact that the pet will like the original nickname and will start responding to the owner's voice. We will tell you how to choose the right one and give several responsive examples of names.
In the villages, every second cat is Barsik, and every second female cat is Muska. City cat lovers don't stop there.
Nickname for a cat
There is no need to think about how the nickname will affect the fate of the animal. There are more important points.
1. The name should be catchy, but also such that you won’t have to blush in front of guests and neighbors.
2. It has been noted that cats respond better if they hear the letters -s, -z, -ts. The reason is that they are consonant with the sounds made by rodents. This means that the hunter's instinct will help the pet respond to the name.
3. Another option is to include the letters -m or -r in the name. These sounds are consonant with purring. But cat lovers may argue here.
4. But many advise to completely avoid hissing sounds in the name.
5. Last point: do not overstrain your pet's memory. The name should be short, melodic and simple.
The most responsive
You won't regret naming your cat Astra and your tomcat Zephyr.
The names Noxie and Sherry, Misty, Percy, Chara and Gina are in fashion. The names Marsik and Baxter are suitable for cats.
And finally, don’t go too far and name cats after Christian saints.
