Beautiful names and nicknames for cats and kittens for boys

Cats are, for the most part, beautiful and graceful creatures. When a pet appears in the house, you want to give it an appropriate nickname, emphasizing its special qualities and independence.

Studying the existing beautiful names for boys and girls cats, it is difficult to immediately decide on the best choice. However, nothing prevents you from using your imagination and coming up with a beautiful nickname yourself, based on any principles.

How to choose a beautiful nickname for your pet

It is believed that the name for a cat of any breed must contain hissing sounds, such as “k”, “s”, “sh”. But this only helps the kitten get used to it faster. It’s good if the nickname is short, consisting of 2–3 syllables.

If you still choose a long one, you can come up with an abbreviation to make it easier for your pet to remember it.

Of course, not everyone names a cat according to the rules. And at the same time, over time, the animal still adapts and begins to respond.

You can choose a beautiful nickname for a kitten based on different criteria:

in accordance with the external characteristics of the cat;
by his character;
by food preferences;
according to the personal interests of the owner;
by behavior and any other factors.

The peculiarity of a particular cat may be a loud voice, an interesting color, for example, like a tiger or a leopard, a very calm or, conversely, overly energetic disposition, etc.

Any of these differences from other pets can serve as an excellent criterion when choosing.

We look at the pet's habits

Based on its habits and character, the animal can be called as follows:

If your little black girl has a mischievous, active character, constantly sits in ambush, opening the hunting season for your legs, then a suitable name for her would be Bagheera, Puma, Lynx.
Owners often choose nicknames based on the behavior and habits of the animal: Sonya, Tisha, Yula.
The cat is very graceful, sedate, she is just a real queen, then the nickname corresponding to her status is Baroness, Princess, Marquise, Lady.

Names for kittens based on external characteristics

When a purebred cat appears in the house, it often already has a passport, which contains a long, boring name. If you wish, you can come up with a beautiful or cool nickname based on it. In any case, what is the best name for the kitten is decided by the owner himself.

In addition to temperament, there are many criteria for choosing a suitable original nickname. These could be addictions to certain foods, favorite toys, interesting habits, and more. For example, if a cat likes to listen to music, you can call him a music lover or by the name of a performer . For a lazy cat, you can choose the nickname Lazy or Dream. Any feature can be a reason to get creative.

However, when choosing according to temperament, sometimes it will be interesting to come up with a name in reverse.

If you call a cat that is too quiet and calm Buran, this may make him a little more active. And to a robber who destroys everything around him, the nickname Marquis will give him solidity and calm his lively temper a little. It is not without reason that they say that a name makes significant changes in character, and not only in people, but also in animals.

A black cat is already a mystical creature in itself; in order to enhance its abilities, you can use the name of an object in the pet’s name, which has been used since ancient times as an amulet or amulet. The names of precious and semi-precious stones remind us of the color black. A cat with black fur can be called:

Onyx - the black color of this mineral is extremely rare, and stones of this unique color are used in expensive jewelry. Black onyx helps to gain and increase wealth, remove witchcraft and spells.
Carbonado(a) – black diamond.

Such unusual nicknames will emphasize not only the color of the cat’s fur, but will also make her a real magical protector, a mediator between our world and the parallel world. If the owner is interested in the occult, mysticism, and esotericism, then a black cat with an unusual name will help him and also attract the attention of friends.

General information about nicknames

The ideal option is short cat names, two to three syllables long, containing hissing sounds (for example, “sh”, “ch”, “zh”, “sch”) and ending with vowels. Cats also perceive the sounds “z”, “s”, “b” and “g” well. The ideal option would be to end the nickname with the sound “i” or “s”.

Choosing a name for a kitten is a responsible task

According to Feng Shui, the names of cats should be consonant with the names of their owners. This will help the whole family communicate on the same wavelength with the animal. Each letter in a cat’s nickname, which is consonant with the owner’s name, will energetically and friendly connect a person and an animal. Even one repeated letter is enough for the kitten and its owners to better understand each other.
