List of names for Scottish cats

There are no special rules when choosing a nickname for your pet. In many ways, it all depends on the imagination and individual preferences of the owner. The only exceptions are purebred cats, the initial letter of which is determined by the litter. But here, too, the field for fantasy is great.

With a large variety it is difficult to determine the name for your pet. There are several criteria when choosing. Build on them or come up with something unusual - it depends on you.

1. Character. Girls of the Scottish breed have a calm disposition. They are moderately playful and do not give their masters much trouble. But do not forget about the individual characteristics. Do not rush to the choice of nicknames, look at the new family member more closely. Perhaps his behavior or habits will be fundamental in the selection.
2. Color This breed has more than one hundred variations of colors. Therefore, there can be no universal name here. For example, black kittens fit the name Blackie, Agatha or Noir. Among the representatives of the breed is found and smoky color. In this case, the animal can be given the name Haze, Gray, Chloe. For chocolate-colored cats, the nicknames Chanel, Shoko, Shanti, Darley will be most appropriate. For snow-white beauties the most appropriate nicknames will be Bella, Snowball, Vaisi, White, Blondi, Merlin, Alba. But for fiery-red the most relevant will be the names Foxy, Ryzhka, Squirrel.

5. The combination of the name of the mother and father. Breeders and simply responsible owners know exactly the name of the father of kittens. Perhaps you will have a very interesting and distinctive name if you combine part of the nickname of mother and father. For example, if mother-cat is called Martha, and father is Cison, then the baby can be named Smart. The name takes on a special meaning, as translated from English, smart means smart. You may also have some very interesting end options.
6. Listen to your intuition. If at first glance at the kitten, you have a certain association, and in your head any word or name is spinning, then you should think. Perhaps it is the most suitable for your pet.

Owners do not always want to give their favorites original or exquisite nicknames. For example, if you purchase a kitten from breeders, then a name will already be written in the documents. But this does not mean that you should use it. Think of your own, corresponding to your ideas.

A funny pet name can cheer up not only all family members, but also friends who come to visit. Among them there are very very unusual and funny options. Just imagine what you called the kitten Hypotenuse or Bun.And every morning you call out loudly to the whole apartment: "Bun, bun, eat." Or even more amusing option: “Look, the Saucepan has again fallen down in the corridor”.

The number of options is unlimited. It all depends on your imagination and sense of humor. One has only to understand that the nickname you give the animal for life. After all, it is quite possible that in a couple of months a funny nickname Jamb will no longer seem so funny, and the pet will get used to it.
