A nickname for a cat, like a name for a person, is given once and for life. Therefore, you should make your choice responsibly. The nickname reflects not only the animal’s temperament, but also the owners’ love for it.
Usually there is a combination of red, black and white colors. For some breeds, the standards include “diluted” colors - blue (smoky gray or silver gray), cream (beige) and white.
Choosing a name based on the character of the animal
You can prepare several nicknames in advance and see which one your furry pet responds to. There is nothing wrong if he lives anonymously for a week. You need to take a closer look at the kitten, how it behaves, plays, sleeps, eats.
Maybe she will become Sonya or Princess, Sima or Chanel. Pedigree cats usually have a name associated with their pedigree. It can be long, difficult, inconvenient, suitable only for exhibitions. In everyday life you need a pet name, warm and soft, like the kitten itself.
Coming up with a nickname
You should think about finding a nickname the moment the kitten arrives at home. But you can always think through some options in advance. First of all, understand that the choice should be based on some basic aspects.
Pet behavior
Take a close look at the kitten's behavior. Note the main habits characteristic of the pet. Any girl should have them, because each animal is individual. And in order to come up with a name, you need to consider the features.
If you don’t like any particular feature in Russian, you can translate it into another language. In such a situation, the name can sparkle with new colors, completely transforming.
Home Creation Character
When looking through nicknames for your pet, you can choose a name that will carry hopes for what you would like your cat to look like in a few years.
There is no point in saying that a nickname can leave a unique imprint on the pet’s character. It's obvious. Quite often, the names of pets correspond to the inner world and nature. For example, if you often see your girl in a sleeping state, then you can call her Sonya. And in this situation, only fantasy sets limitations.
If nothing interesting comes to mind and you can’t find a name, don’t be upset. You can wait a few days and try again to choose a nickname for the girl. It's okay if the kitten doesn't have a nickname for a few days. In most cases, names are suggested directly by pets. After watching the video, you will see how playful calico cats can be.
Wool color
You can choose a name that will reflect the original color. Also, the nickname can express the mystical capabilities that, according to legend, the pet has. When choosing a name, do not forget about the softness, activity and affection of the kitten.
Find more information
When choosing a name, you should look at information regarding the kitten's breed. At the present stage, there are more than 50 varieties of tricolor cats. And each of them has certain characteristics. You can buy a cat that loves to communicate. And there are also playful, lively fluffies.
If searching through names does not lead to anything, then you can consider options such as Caprice, Antrikosha or Tricolor. After your pet has been given a nickname, watch it for a while. Decide how correctly the nickname was chosen, how strongly it matches the character.
Was the name chosen correctly?
Naturally, in the first months of a kitten’s growth it will be very difficult to consider any specific qualities. However, they will not go away and will still show themselves. Character traits can affect the pet’s perseverance, place to sleep, and activity. The main tool should be considered the reaction that the kitten shows when it is called by name.
He may respond, or he may not pay any attention at all. If you choose the right name, then not only the owner will be happy about it, but the kitten itself will begin to feel more comfortable.
What do the colors symbolize in cats?
Interestingly, girls are usually born tricolored. This is how it happened genetically: for every 3 thousand tricolor cats there is 1 boy.
The base of the tricolor color is white. Such animals protect the house from an evil look, the evil eye, and bad people.
Black and gray spots indicate magical abilities. In the presence of white and red, dark magic becomes good. Gray and silver are the colors of the Moon and mystery. Spots of all shades of red: orange, red, golden, brown, beige - this is energy, creativity, intelligence, and sometimes help in finding a loss.
The special color of tricolor cats is tortoiseshell. The main colors are black and red in different shades with single white hairs: as if sunbeams were scattered all over the body. There is a belief that on land such cats protect from fires, and on water (on a ship) from wrecks.
