How to choose a name for a cat-girl?

Choosing a name for a pet is the very first question that concerns the latter-day owners. Indeed, the name is a very important detail that can give a cat certain character traits.

Now there is a huge variety of names for cats-girls. To get started, just listen to the sound and select those that you personally like, and then you can pronounce the names out loud and pay attention to the reaction of the animal. But if none of this could be chosen, then you have to go a little different way.

It is worth paying attention to the cat itself - its behavior, habits, attitude towards people and so on. You can choose a name for some specific, pronounced line, so that the cat's nickname will reflect the essence of the nature of your animal. For example, to choose a name for a very nimble kitten, you can focus on speed. It will be banal Shustrik for a boy-cat, and for a girl, you can choose names such as Strela or Lightning.

A common phenomenon in which cats are called female names. If the name fits your cat, you like it, it sounds short and understandable for an animal - then why not? Such names as Alice, Anfisa, Sonya, Victoria, Eve, all derived from them and other extravagant female names sound quite harmoniously.

Most often, people pay attention to the color of the animal, so why not focus on it? However, do not dwell on the most common options such as Mist, Snezha or Ember.

Size - another external indicator cats, which can serve as a hint when choosing a nickname. But this option should be used only when you are fully confident in the "final" size of the animal. After all, it happens that such a kitten, being the smallest, suddenly grows to the size of a full-fledged domestic tiger, and the name Button does not correspond to reality.

If you care a little about the ironic divergence of the name and reality, then focusing on the size of the pet is not a bad option. A landmark can serve as the degree of fluffy cats. Agree, it is not the most logical option to call a representative of the Sphynx breed Fluff. But a small but very fluffy kitty, this name is very suitable.

Despite the fact that practically any word can act as a nickname (unless it is offensive and does not bear any other negative load), it is not easy to choose. To simplify the task a bit, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with several lists of options.

Out of competition, of course, Murka. One gets the impression that the very first domesticated cat was called so. But it is unlikely that such a common name can convey the whole personality of your kitty, so for the time being we will put off this name. The following nickname, which is very common - Musya (or dismissive Muska or Puska). A content, easy-to-remember name that carries no meaning and says nothing about your beloved pet.

The name Nora is also quite popular (and with it Nork and sometimes Nyura). The same list includes Dussia, Lucy, Lasuka, Masha, Dinu, and Sofu. Thanks to the work of Rudyard Kipling "Mowgli", black cats at one time were very often called Bagheera.But the name Matilda is associated with imposing kisa, thanks to the cartoon Carlson, in which the “home teacher” Freken Bok had a sedate, but rather pretentious cat.

The category of rare names includes the names of gems, geographical names and even the names of famous personalities and pagan goddesses. This can be attributed to Gioconda - if the cat strikes you with its mysterious expression of its muzzle, Patricia - if the character of your cat has a hint of a peculiar nobility. The name Valkyrie sounds very nice, but in everyday life it is often reduced to the usual Vali or even Valki.

If you decide to use the names of ancient goddesses, then it would be nice to get acquainted with the sphere of influence of the deity, after whom you are going to name the pet.. For example, Juno is the Roman version of the Greek Hera - the goddess of family and marriage, and the very jealous wife of Zeus. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, Eos (among the Romans Aurora) is the goddess of dawn, that's why it's better to call a cat having a peach color.

Ishtar - the goddess of love and at the same time war and strife, so do not be surprised if your kitty, named after her, will first lie and adore purring near you, and after a few seconds, she will hold her sharp teeth in your hand. One of the most appropriate names for a cat is Bastet, the name of the Egyptian goddess of the moon, female beauty, hearth and fun, having the head of a black cat. The name Pandora has its roots in Greek mythology: this was the name of the girl whom the gods chose to protect the casket with misfortunes. This name is suitable for a cat that has an unpredictable character and sometimes gives you such "surprises" that you could not even expect from your home favorite.

The names of famous personalities, heroines of books or films, or geographic names rarely carry with them any semantic meaning and are chosen most often because of the pleasant sound. This includes

If a kitten picked up on the street can be called as your heart desires, then with pedigreed animals it is a bit more complicated. The aristocratic origin of your cat requires a loud long name, which should be combined with titles and other names in the animal's passport. At home, you can shorten the name for convenience, but if your plans include cat shows and contests, then take the trouble to learn the full, official version.

If your chosen pet has a rich pedigree, then read it and check if there are any regularities. For example, if the names of all animals begin with a certain letter, then you must follow this rule. Very often a cat is called some word from the language of the place where its breed originated from. For example, all breeds of sphinxes like to call Cleopatra very much, and in cats of British breed there are truly royal names - Victoria, Elizabeth, Josephine, Clementine and so on.

British breeds are often called beautiful, aristocratic names:

• Abigel,
• Adelaide,
• Bellatrix,

• Clementine,
• Matilda,
• Louise,
• Eleanor,
• Laura,
• Trinity,
• Tabitha,
• Barbara,
• Gertrude,
• Natalie,
• Demuria,
• Proserpine.
