The dream has finally come true, and in your house a small, cute Bengal kitten has appeared. The animal has a passport, but you do not like the name. Can I rename the four-legged friend? After all, I don’t want to call the animal an unsuitable name for many years. The answer to this question and recommendations for choosing a name for a cat are given below.
A bit of history
The appearance of the Bengal breed society owes an American Jean Mill. In 1961, Jin went on a business trip to Bangkok. The indigenous inhabitants of those places - wild cats - were on the verge of extinction. Animal skins were highly valued, so poaching flourished. Adult cats were killed, the kittens were sold to tourists. The girl bought a kitten and brought it home.
The kitten has matured, turned into a beautiful cat. However, home, in the full sense of the word, it was impossible to name. The animal did not perceive the caress, it did not go on contact. Jill set out to breed a breed that combines the beauty and grace of wild animals with the caress and playfulness of domestic cats. After many years of crossing and culling, we have remarkable individuals, called Bengal.
Distinctive features
The Bengali breed is distinguished from domestic cats primarily by its unusual color. On the soft, dense, shiny wool pronounced dark spots of rich chocolate or black. Strong bones slightly stretched in length. The front legs are slightly shorter than the rear. Cats are distinguished by muscularity.
The movements of the Bengal are filled with confidence and grace, right leopards in miniature.
How to choose?
To call the Bengal cat Vaska, Murzik or Barsik means to insult the elite breed. Here are 3 basic rules to follow when choosing a kitten name. The first rule is determined by professional breeders. Breed cats born in nurseries from famous parents are assigned complex names. Nursery specialists are guided by approved principles. So, all the kittens of the same litter should get the names starting with a single letter.
In the passport issued to the kitten, the name is too long, from which you can find out the information:
- about the names of parents and grandparents:
- about the name of the nursery.
The owners of the kitten are allowed to change the name, provided that it begins with the letter indicated in the passport.
The second rule is ease of pronunciation.. An elite cat deserves a majestic name, but the pretentiousness leads to difficulties in pronunciation. Does it make sense to assign a beautiful nickname, if in everyday life you have to be content with its abbreviated version? I think no. It’s better to pick one that sounds beautiful and is easy to pronounce.
The third rule refers to the cat itself. He should certainly like the name. Choose some interesting nicknames, and test them on your pet. Repeat each of the names and watch the reaction of the kitten. By the reaction of the animal it becomes clear that he likes it more. Prefer nickname chosen by its carrier.
Variants of names for the Bengali boy
When the given name at birth seems unsuitable to the owner, a new one is chosen. First, look closely at your pet. What is the most interesting in it? What does he like to do? Name the cat so that the nickname underlines its most important features.
The spotted pet is perfect nickname Leo. Often, noble cats are called human names.Like great royals, cats become Carls, Charles or Richards. Do felinologists in the course nicknames with a specific value. For example, Willy's nickname means friend, and Trust - reliable. Agate is good, and Tiger is brave. Gentle - affectionate, Clave - smart, and Warmi - naughty.
Perhaps your affectionate cat fit the names Matt or Marty, Buff or Boston. American names prevail in memory of the breeding site. Patriots can call their pets with common names: Boris, Klim, Max, Mark, Leo.
