More than 300 names for sphinx cats and cats, beautiful nicknames for a kitten boy and girl

Origin of the breed

Before deciding on names for Sphynx boys, let's remember how these amazing cats appeared.

Many years ago in America, an ordinary cat gave birth to kittens. What's surprising about this? It would be something to focus on. It stands on this litter, believe me. For among the usual furballs, the cat owner, to his surprise, discovered a hairless kitten. At first they wanted to get rid of him. But the owner took pity on the deformed baby and still left him.

Later this cat was crossed with his own mother; he had a very unusual appearance. And again bald babies were born.

The situation was soon repeated in Canada. An ordinary cat gave birth to hairless children. Through painstaking work on crossing representatives of hairless cats, a new breed appeared. She is known to us as the Canadian Sphynx.

However, these are not the only representatives of the Sphynx breed. At the end of the 80s of the 20th century, a resident of Rostov-on-Don was returning from work. And a very thin and ugly kitten caught her eye. The baby had no fur at all. The fluff was on the paws, behind the ears and a little on the chest. The woman took pity on the frightened baby and took him home.

The foundling turned out to be a cat. When Varvara, as the baby was named, grew up, she gave birth to kittens from a very ordinary cat. And these kids turned out to be bald. It became obvious that Varvara was not a sick freak. This is a genetic mutation. And by 1998, a breed called the “Don Sphynx” was approved in Russia.

Letter for a cat

It is known that names for sphinx boys, as well as for any other purebred animals, are selected according to the letter. If this is the first litter of kittens in the nursery, then the names begin with A. The second - with B and so on.

Often the name is chosen by the breeder himself, without the consent of the owner. For example, the cat is named Brahan because he is a “baby” from his mother’s second litter. But the owner doesn’t like this name at all. How to proceed? It's simple: the cat's pedigree will contain the name given by the breeder, and the owner can call the animal whatever he wants.
