Red-haired people: character traits, temperament

General Tips

There are several points on which you should choose a name for your pet:

• appearance features. If the baby’s appearance resembles a fox, why not call her Alice, as in the fairy tale about Pinocchio;
• character and habits. For a frisky cat, the name Squirrel is suitable, because she just as gracefully jumps from branch to branch and gets to the top of the tallest tree, but the fluffy one who sleeps constantly is, of course, Sonya;
• For purebred cats, they choose more interesting names. When entering documents, it is better to use sonorous and beautiful nicknames, because the pets will participate in competitions and breeding.

When choosing a name, you can rely on intuition or use reference books. Sometimes a nickname comes to mind instantly and completely matches the cat, but often you have to think for a long time and consult to choose a suitable name for the baby.

Saying Red in European Languages

Foreign names

The Irish are considered the reddest nation on the globe. Therefore, the name for the cat can be borrowed from them:

• if you want everyone to like your cat, you should name it Astor, which means “beloved” in Irish;
• for a thin and long-legged beauty, the best nickname would be Kali, or “slender”;
• if the coat is not bright, but dark red, the name Kari is suitable;
• the vigilant little girl, who doesn’t let even a mouse pass by, deserves the nickname Casey;
• the meek creature is worthy of the name Una, and the kitty will be as obedient as a lamb;
• Lian will become a real torch in the house.

You can show off your knowledge of the English language and choose the appropriate nickname:

• golden fur requires a golden name, for a cat it can be Gold or Goldochka;
• brownish-orange color fits the nickname Ginger;
• the baby was born in the fall or appeared at the doorstep on autumn days, perhaps it was Autumn;
• Foxy is a real fox, just as nimble, sneaky and unusually bright.

Let's practice our Japanese. Interesting nicknames can be borrowed from the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom:

• the very first baby in the litter is Ichiro;
• Katsu will definitely bring victory to its owners;
• Daisuke will exterminate all the rodents in the house, because this is “great help” in translation from Japanese;
• a second cat appeared in the house - this is Jiro, and if there is a fifth, then Goro.

The cat is a beautiful flower with an unusual name:

• Sakura (cherry blossoms);
• Sumire (violet);
• Bara will become a real rose in the nursery;
• Yuli translated as lily;
• Ayame is a beautiful iris;
• Hana is a flower.

There is a whole list of nicknames with translations that are suitable for cats:

• Aiko - will become the favorite of all family members;
• a bright fur coat and a corresponding character - this is Akira;
• Katana is a sword of justice for all rodents that have entered the house;
• Kin is a great name for the owner of a golden coat;
• the real treasure is Takara;
• Chika is the personification of wisdom and prudence;
• lightning-fast movement around the room will be demonstrated by fast Enko (lightning);
• the cat is a full member of the family, a daughter, she should be called Musume, and if she is like a sister, then this is Ane;
• The interesting name Amaya means night rain;
• Looking into blue eyes, you can see the sky in them, and the cat with such eyes can be called Sora.

What is the best way not to name red kittens?

So, the choice of nicknames for pets with a fiery coat is quite large. Now let’s discuss which names are undesirable for red cats:

The nickname for a red cat should not be too long. It is better not to call your favorite, say, Apollinaria or Wilhelmina. Firstly, it will be easier for the owner himself if the nickname is short and easy to pronounce. Secondly, the cat will quickly get used to the short name;

Sometimes new owners come up with a long name for a cat, but sometimes later, for simplicity, they start calling it short (for example, the same Apollinaria - Polya, Polka). It will not be easy for your pet to understand exactly what her name is. This is also why it is better to avoid long names;

It is undesirable to call a cat the same name as, for example, a neighbor in the stairwell or a distant relative (especially when the cat’s owner has a strained relationship with her). Unfortunately, people who are not prone to self-irony are unlikely to be happy that a cat was named after them (especially if they themselves cannot stand cats). So it's better not to take risks;

You should not give ginger cats names of evil spirits. Who knows what consequences this could lead to. And is such negativity necessary towards an innocent creature with a bright coloring;

Sometimes a new pet is named after a deceased cat who died prematurely. This happens especially often when family members cannot come to terms with the loss for a long time. But it’s better to come up with a new name to prevent bad luck. The new cat will have its own destiny and its own name;

• You should not call a cat a name that the owner or at least one of the family members does not like. The main criterion for choosing a nickname is that the name must certainly be liked both in sound and meaning.

Nickname for a Persian cat

The fluffy red pet will delight you with its soft character, so the name must correspond to:

• if the kitten was long-awaited, an excellent nickname for the girl is Amani, which means “desired” in Arabic;
• Anisa will become an affectionate friend for children;
• among the Persians, a kiss is Busya, and Busya or Businka will be kissed by the household, because this cute fluffy animal just begs for affection;
• it is advisable to name the beautiful creature Ziba;
• In order for a cat to fulfill wishes, it is necessary to give it the Arabic nickname Muna;
• Nafisa will be a precious find for the whole family;
• among the Persians, the young sorceress is Peri;
• a real star that all the neighborhood cats adore should be named Suraiya;
• the red lioness is Cher;
• if the baby’s fur is soft, like heavenly clouds, the best name for her is Anan, which means clouds in Arabic;
• a real queen appeared in the house, commanding her owners, her name is Balkis in honor of the Queen of Sheba;
• a real paradise awaits a baby named Minu;
• thanks to Nima, peace and grace will reign in the house;
• among the Iranians, the sweet one is Nyusha, a cat with that name will bring the owners a sweet life.

Why do you dream about a big red cat?

Such a dream can have several meanings:

1. If a large animal goes straight to the dreamer, meeting his eyes, this means that in the near future he will have a meeting with a person who will influence his life. This person cannot be called good, because he is filled with ill will and cunning. Perhaps the dreamer will compete with this person in some area. The possibility of hostility cannot be ruled out.
2. If a ginger cat caresses and purrs without showing aggression, then such a dream can be a serious warning for the dreamer. The image of such a beast symbolizes temptation. Perhaps the person will soon meet someone who will have a negative influence on him. This man is dishonest.

If a large animal goes straight to the dreamer, meeting his eyes, this means that in the near future he will have a meeting with a person who will have an impact on his life

The talking beast symbolizes gossip. The more the cat talked to the dreamer, the more rumors and gossip will be spread behind his back. The dreamer must be more attentive to all incoming information, double-checking it.

Why does a woman, girl, or man dream about a red cat?

The gender of the dreamer largely determines the interpretation of the dream.

• For a woman, the image of a red cat is the image of a man. The woman has to feel sincere affection for him, perhaps even loves him, but his intentions are by no means noble. The thoughts of this man are not pure, it is unlikely that he is capable of experiencing the same serious feelings. So it is useless to expect him to be ready to enter into a serious relationship.
• For an unmarried girl, such a dream is even more dangerous. The red cat is a symbol of lust and a secret desire to enter into a vicious relationship. A girl should be more reasonable, especially in relationships with the opposite sex.
• If the dreamer is a man, then this image promises him the infidelity of his wife. Perhaps he himself has no idea about the unclean thoughts of the woman he loves. After such a dream, you should take a closer look at your chosen one, so as not to let yourself be deceived. It may be difficult for a man to end his relationship with her.

For a woman, the image of a red cat is the image of a man.

The white color of animal fur in dreams always warns a person of hidden danger

However, the meaning of such an image may be different depending on the actions of the dreamer and the cat. For example, if a person in a dream rejoices at meeting a red cat, this may portend a meeting with a good and pleasant person.

• The white and red cat has a very similar meaning. The white color of animal fur in dreams always warns a person of hidden danger. Perhaps the dreamer is not aware of this danger.

Recommendations for accustoming to a nickname

If you have decided on the choice of name, it’s time to move on to the learning stage. There are several ways to make it easier to remember the chosen name:

• reward with food. The kitten must be called loudly, and if it comes running, be sure to give it something tasty. First, they call from a close distance, so that the pet not only hears the sounds, but also sees that they are addressing him. Then the distance is increased and visual contact is removed;
• Playing with a cat should be accompanied by stroking, scratching and saying its name. A grateful purr and a learned nickname will not keep you waiting.

Why do you dream about a red cat: interpretations in dream books

Cats almost always symbolize the mysterious, secret and hostile. The interpretation of a dream about this animal can have dozens, and sometimes hundreds of different options, so it is very important to remember all the important details of the dream. Here are the most common meanings of this image:

1. If a person dreams of a red cat, it means that serious life trials await him. There will be many troubles on the dreamer’s path, which can be overcome by showing courage and patience.
2. Seeing this animal in a dream means experiencing disappointment from unrequited love.
3. A series of failures is what the dreamer will have to face. And if he dreams of several red cats at once, then there will be a lot of problems. Also, many cats symbolize gossips.
4. Seeing a red animal in your dream means you are faced with a choice. The dreamer must decide what is really important to him in life. His subsequent fate will depend on this choice.
5. A dream in which a person looks at a walking cat speaks of the dreamer’s secret desire to find love. Perhaps the person himself is not aware of his need to be loved.
6. Such an animal is a symbol of unpredictability and instability.
7. Listening to the purring of a red cat is a sign of deception. A person will have to face betrayal and hypocrisy from his ill-wisher.

According to Sigmund Freud, the image of this beast does not carry any negative interpretation, but quite the opposite. Red is the color of passion, love and sexual desire. Therefore, watching a red cat is a way to satisfy all your sexual fantasies in real life.

Origin

Before talking about features and talents, it is necessary to understand where red-haired people came from. There are two versions of their origin. The first is due to historical factors and suggests that people with red hair are descendants of Neanderthals. Their gene is several tens of thousands of years older than the gene of “homo sapiens,” that is, modern humanity. According to scientists at Oxford University, the hypothetical ancestors of redheads were dexterous and fierce hunters, stockier and stronger than Homo sapiens. Over time, both subspecies mixed, but genetic memory retained information about their unusual appearance (hair pigmentation) and “explosive” and rebellious disposition. Traces of Neanderthals have been found in Western Europe, just where the red-haired Irish, Scots and Gauls (Germans) can be found today.

The second version of the origin is ufological. She suggests that these unique creatures flew to Earth from a parallel world or another star system. A number of historical cases provide evidence for this hypothesis. These include medieval records of interrogations of sorcerers and witches. All of them, according to the description, had red hair and had supernatural abilities (they predicted the future, treated people from complex ailments, influenced the weather and communicated with other worlds). And today this trend has not yet outlived its usefulness. Many fire-haired people are credited with extraordinary talents and capabilities. For example, there is an opinion that red-haired nurses and doctors make patients recover faster.

Another proof of the ufological hypothesis is the sensitivity of red-haired people to solar radiation. Researchers from the UK's Newcastle University have discovered that the average person's skin secretes two types of melanin when exposed to ultraviolet light for protection. In red-haired people, this process occurs partially, so they hardly tan and are more susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer.
