Choose the right name
The nickname for a Scottish kitten should be short, clear, with the right combination of sounds. If the name is too long or complex, the owners will have difficulty pronouncing it constantly, and the animal itself simply will not remember its nickname and, accordingly, will not respond to it.
For a kitten to begin to respond to its name, at least 1-2 weeks must pass, during which the owners should pronounce the pet’s name as often as possible. It is important to choose a name once and for all, without changing your mind and without making futile attempts to rename the animal again; it will not respond.
While the kittens are small, various affectionate nicknames in the form of Fluff, Snowball and Beads only emphasize the tenderness and cuteness of the pet. But in the future it is quite difficult to imagine a Scottish representative and large cat with the nickname Businka. Therefore, you need to choose a name so that it does not lose its relevance over the years.
funny
Funny nicknames for Scottish male cats, both straight-eared and fold-eared, are a good option, but you need to be careful with the name you choose.
The breed is elite and noble, so even a humorous name should be worthy, interesting, and not offensive. The nickname should evoke tenderness and a smile, and not make the animal a laughing stock.
Popular funny nicknames that both straight-eared and lop-eared “Scots” can wear: Loaf, Hippopotamus, Log, Pot, Buddha, Chewbacca, Zucchini, Beetle, Dollar, Totoro, Virus, Tambourine, Yeti, Tamagotchi, Cheburashka, Lavash, Cactus, Gypsy, Anchovy, Pokemon.
You can choose a good option from funny male names and nicknames: Jasper, Vader, Baskerville, Einstein, Schumacher, Al Pacino, Hippolyte, Alphonse, Kuzma, Emelyan, Chaplin, Athos, Zhigalo.
Or you can choose something original and unusual: Joker, Dragon, Clarinet, Pixel, Mango, Apricot, Citrus, Pegasus, Bentley, Lexus, Banker, DJ, Oracle, Wasabi, Aborigine, Celt, Giant, Bacchus, Hippie, Genghis Khan, Rich Man, Rustle, Hussar, Ace, Dream, Colt, Souvenir, Lovelace.
