Interesting names from cartoons and films

TV is a very important attribute of our life. Adults and children often watch it and involuntarily fall in love with the characters that look at us from the silver screen. And then they give their pets famous nicknames. For example, fans of the beloved cartoon “Prostokvashino” by all children call furry animals, especially striped ones, Matroskins. Those who respect the famous ginger cat (we’ll find out what to call a pet of this color later) give their fluffies the nickname Leopold. Or Basilio - in honor of another dark-colored cunning creature. But if the favorite is not a cat, but a real lion, then his name will most likely be Boniface. Just like the cute and funny zoo resident who flaunts through the streets in a blue vest.

In addition, many famous nicknames are borrowed from Western cartoons. For example, the amazing story “The Lion King” tells us about another representative of the cat family. He grows from a small kitten into a large and majestic cat named Simba. And this is the next answer to the question “what unusual names for cats exist.” But those who were shocked by the bright orange creature dancing to the fiery rhythms call their favorites Garfields. If the kitten is completely black, then fans of mysterious and mystical stories will not be able to come up with a name other than Behemoth. In honor of the unusual cat from the book by Mikhail Bulgakov and the film of the same name about the Master and Margarita. For cats, owners most often choose the name Bagheera. Moreover, the animal is not always distinguished by its black coat color.

What to consider?

If some owners don’t care so much that the nickname may be consonant with the famous “ks-ks” to which all cats react, then others, on the contrary, do not like the pet’s name, which contains a hint of this method of calling the cat

So the cat will not pay attention to strangers, understanding only its own name

As for double or even triple names, they are too complex for a cat to understand and remember. At the same time, the cat understands the abbreviated name very well, and representatives of certain breeds are even capable of responding in their own way to the claims or praise of their owners. When addressing a pet, the name should sound worthy, because it shows the degree of intelligence of the breeder and his attitude towards the pet.

If it is extremely important for the owner to focus on the black color of the cat’s fur coat, when choosing a nickname it is worth choosing options that mean “black”, be it a translation of the word into a foreign language or a name with meaning translated as a phrase. At the same time, one should not draw a parallel with biblical themes, equating the color of a fur coat with something devilish

If you want the name of a black cat to sound beautiful and unusual, just look around. Even such ordinary options as Murzik or Marsik can be turned into Murcello or Marcello. If you choose from car brands, you can choose options like Asura, Alpina, Aro, Audi, Bau, Cherry, Cord, Daewoo, Fisker, Fuji. Hygiene products come up with great ideas: here you can take a closer look at different options by selecting individual words from the names of brand products (for example, Nexus, Redken, Glamor, Aussie, Murphy).

If you want to find a fun option, you can take a closer look at the names of flowers in Korean. For example, the color black in this case will sound like “gomjeon”. Surnames that are common among Koreans are original and short. For example, from here you can borrow the options Kim, Park, Lim, Sim, Yun, So, which will be quite unusual. You can choose a nickname with meaning (for example, Dung will mean “brave”, Khan - “lord”, Song - “star”). The Japanese word for cat is Neko.

Long names

Our reader can easily choose one of the above unusual names for cats, but they are now found quite often. But every owner has the very best and, undoubtedly, unique pet! For this reason, many people look for such delightful names for their pets that any majestic lord would envy them. And we will look at several of them in the next paragraph.

Recently, people have begun to treat cats almost as equals. And this affects not only the fact that owners buy clothes for their pets and arrange a personal room, but also the fact that they choose appropriate nicknames for them. And this is not surprising, because human names have a full form and a diminutive form - Grigory and Grisha, Valentin and Valya, Nikolai and Kolya. But what to do if you really want to name your cat an interesting name?

If the reader cannot come up with something similar, we suggest that he choose one of the following options:

• Barsik - Barcelona.
• Busik - Bussival.
• Barbie - Barbarella.
• Archie - Archibald.
• Arnie - Arnold.
• Bonya - Bonaparte.
• Lucik - Lucifer.

What can you name a kitten - recommendations for choosing a suitable nickname

Unusual, popular, affectionate, funny: cat names are so different. If you are thinking about what to name your cat, then choose the option that all family members like. Put meaning into the name and do not forget to take into account the temperament of the mustache, its color and breed. It’s very strange when a white purring cat is called Ryzhik or a boy’s fold-eared kitten is called Lysik. For both people and their four-legged friends, this is not a set of sounds, but a pleasant consonance for the ear (if it is chosen correctly).

If you want the mustache to quickly begin to respond to its nickname, then choose one that contains whistling or hissing sounds.

You should not choose too abstruse or complex names for cats. Do not forget that you will call the mustache very often and after a while the name, which is difficult to pronounce, will begin to irritate you. If you want to choose something unusual, then be sure to think of a shortened version of the nickname.

It will be interesting to hear the name of some character. If a cat from a cartoon looks like a pet, its name will delight everyone in the household for a long time:

An interesting idea is to name the kitten after a famous brand. Since such nicknames are rare, they are well remembered: Samsung, Philips, Adidas, Lexus, Orbit. A creative approach to choosing a name based on this criterion will allow you to find the desired name from existing brands of various products - vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, cars, televisions.

They are especially relevant when the cat likes to relax at the computer where his owner works. List of names: Android, IKat, Byte, Buffer, Widget, Google, Kaspersky, Xerox, Moderator, Processor, Server, Torrent, Trojan, Hacker, Yandex.

What not to call black kittens

There are no authorities and cannot be when choosing a nickname for a kitten. No one has the right to tell you how it is more convenient for you to address your own cat.

There are people who approach this issue without particularly bothering: for them, the pet becomes White, Red or Black for many years. And, believe me, the cat does not suffer at all from such impersonality and does not scratch out the owner’s eyes, demanding that he come up with a catchy and rare nickname for him that will distinguish him from other vaseks.

Recommendations regarding the undesirability of certain names are located in the area of ​​​​the so-called taste: some consider the nickname Darkness to be quite suitable, while others will shudder from associations with a hopeless life.

Hard-to-pronounce (even extremely original) foreign words like Tsrn, which means “black” in Serbian, can be considered not entirely reasonable. The same list, in our opinion, includes the nicknames Kuroi (“black” in Japanese) and Asuad (Arabic “black”).

The name Kuroneko, translated from Japanese as “black cat,” in Russian speech is more comparable to chickens, and is pronounced rather clumsily. There is also a Turkic adjective Kara, which also means black. At first glance, it is suitable for both cats and cats, but taking into account the Russian meaning of the word “kara”, it cannot be recommended for domestic tailed cats.

Another controversial nickname is Raven (“raven” in English). If you are not confused by the avian origin of the future name, name the kitten that way, and so that guests do not have to worry about translation, call it in Russian - Raven.

Connoisseurs of the East borrowed the following ambiguous name from the Chinese - Hei Mao (meaning “black cat”). It sounds like a greeting from the famous Chinese communist and ruler Mao Zedong. If consonance seems funny to you, reward your kitten with this Chinese nickname.

There are also two gastronomic terms denoting the most popular invigorating drinks, which can act as non-trivial cat nicknames. And it is possible that in some Russian families cats with the names Coffee and Tea are growing up (or have grown up). From our point of view, these words are spoken so often in the family that they will disorient your pets, and in the end they will simply stop responding to their nicknames.

The relationship between nickname and breed

Of all the cats, some people prefer the Sphynx - funny, hairless and a little like alien creatures. Others cannot imagine their life without Persians - fluffy, fat bellies with flattened noses. And still others respect Maine Coons exclusively. However, problems may also arise with choosing an original nickname for each representative of various breeds.

Cat breeds with snow-white fur

Genetic scientists have found that the white color of the fur in cats is due to three different factors:

1. Hereditary recessive congenital lack of pigment (albinism). An albino cat may have blue or red eyes due to a lack of pigment in the iris. The gene that causes albinism (ca) blocks the production of enzymes responsible for the synthesis of pigments.
2. The merging of white spots into a solid color. The white spot factor (S) causes zonal depigmentation, the coat is not solid white, but spotted. But in some cases, the size of the spots is so large and they are located so densely that the coat appears completely snow-white.
3. The presence in the genotype of a dominant gene (W) of white color. It completely suppresses the expression of genes of other colors that are in the cat’s chromosome set. And if you cross such a white cat with a heterozygous female (W/w), then colored kittens may appear in the litter.

By the way, the gene responsible for the anomaly in the shape of the inner ear, which causes deafness, is linked only to the S and W genes. But albino cats hear perfectly. Thus, the genes responsible for white coat color can be present in cats of any breed, but most often it occurs in:

• Turkish Angoras;
• Foreign Whites - white Siamese cats;
• Turkish Vanirs;
• Khao Mani - white cats from Thailand.
