When an animal appears in the house, a logical question arises - what to call the fluffy beauty. Names for cats, as experts advise, should be given quickly so that the pet has time to get used to it.
Previously, people cared little about what to name a cat. We chose from the standard options: Murka, Musya, Busya, Snezhok, Vaska, Ryska, Ryzhaya and the like. Now a lot of beautiful and original nicknames have appeared. Pets are called by non-standard names of writers and cartoon characters, nicknames from the English language without translation into Russian. In total, there are more than a thousand options, among which you can choose the best one depending on the breed, color, and character of the new family member.
Choosing a nickname for a cat - what can you focus on?
We are solving a difficult problem - what to name the kittens?
And so, in order to choose a beautiful and original nickname for a kitten, it is worth taking into account a number of features.
The following factors are worth paying attention to when choosing a nickname:
- breed - its characteristics and origin;
- appearance - color of coat and eyes, fluffy or smooth-haired;
- short names are preferable - cats hear and perceive whistling and hissing sounds perfectly (especially the first 3-4 sounds)
- the purpose of the cat (pet, mousetrap, pet for exhibitions and further breeding).
It is also worth remembering that the chosen nickname will have to be pronounced quite often, and it is undesirable for it to be unpleasant or hurt the ears.
The most popular nicknames for ordinary cats are Musya Bagheera Dusya Murka Muska Sonya Anfisa Frosya Liska Masyanya Bonya Jessi Basya Lucky Mukha Marquise Sima Ryzhulya.
Usually the names of purebred cats are long and respectful. But let this nickname appear on the pet’s passport. For yourself, it is better to shorten it and leave the official name for the sake of decency.
A cat's life can also be aristocratic.

How to name a female cat depending on the breed
Nicknames for purebred cats are usually invented by the breeder. This is necessary for registering kittens, but with prior approval, the right to choose may go to the future owner. In this case, there is only one problem left - only one available letter, which must be at the beginning.
If you missed the opportunity to choose an official nickname for your pet, don’t worry. It will only be needed for documents and exhibitions. With your family, you can use something of your own, based on the breed of the animal.
British, Scottish
For thick-cheeked "British" and owl-like "Scots" Old English and royal names are suitable:
“ Anna, Betok, Margaret, Eleanor, Charlotte, Victoria, Antoinette.
Too simple options like Murka in this case will be banal. Although it is worth considering that for your grandmother, Margaret, who is difficult to pronounce, will most likely be Musya.
Siamese-oriental group
The graceful proportions of the “Siamese” and “Orientals” will be emphasized by comparison with the Greek muses. The choice of colors or brands of perfume will be no less successful.
“ Thalia, Erato, Clio, Urania, Meleta, Sakura, Calla, Protea, Lancome, Dior.
Another good option is to call your lady an oriental name:
“ Jasmine, Adelia, Lilith, Aygun, Amira, Bagheera, Valia, Gulsum, Gunesh, Damira, Zulia, Indira, Camilla, Latifa, Maryam, Nadilla, Patima, Renata, Salima, Taira, Faina, Hadira, Shakira, Enge, Yasira .
Take advantage of borrowing. Choose any foreign female name you like or translate the “zest” of your pet into another language.
Longhair
Despite their different origins, the Nibelung, Neva Masquerade, Norwegian Forest and Siberian cats are united by a luxurious fur coat. This feature can also be highlighted using borrowings, if we take the word “fluffy” as a basis:
“ Fluffy or Furry (English), Fuwa (Japanese), Pui (Thai), Pufos (Romanian).
Sphinx or rex
Both breeds are very distinctive. Sphinxes can be named after Egyptian queens and goddesses. Do not forget that in everyday life it is better to shorten complex structures to Nave, Cleo and Hut, respectively.
“ Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Hatshepsut, Bastet, Amanta, Neith, Nubia, Masika, Ebony, Asenath, Jeseri, Isis, Kiffi, Ozey, Panivi, Tahira, Heket, Shapsit.
Rexes are also not without magical attraction. Their extraordinary appearance can be enhanced by choosing the name of a mystical creature or the name of a famous witch as a nickname:
“ Thetis, Chimera, Pythia, Evanora, Ravenna, Solomonia, Hermione, Maleficent, Nena, Luna, Sabrina, Eleanor, Althea, Eris, Daphne, Moira, Siren, Ondine, Juno.

Often, when giving their friend a beautiful but difficult to pronounce name, owners later shorten the nickname or call the cat another, more appropriate name. But it’s better to immediately pay attention to easy nicknames for your pets.
By character or celebrity name
The last idea to look for is your favorite movies, books and other works of art. In this case, the mustachioed favorite can be named after the same animals (Sawyer from “Cats Don’t Dance” or Duchess from “Aristocats”) or human characters (Ciri, Triss or Yen from “The Witcher”).
Don't forget about real celebrities: actors, singers, scientists, rulers. If you don't want to use their own names, borrow their pets' nicknames: Choupette (designer Karl Lagerfeld), Meredith (Taylor Swift), Smarty (Claudia Schiffer).

Easy nicknames for cats
When coming up with a nickname, experts recommend choosing a simple name, consisting of a maximum of two syllables. And even if the owners get a high-breed pet with a long name, which is not only difficult to pronounce, but even difficult to read, the owners shorten it significantly or come up with a pet nickname: Elizabeth-Josephine turns into Lizzie, and Cleopatra into Cleo.
Nicknames for girls cats are easy and beautiful
Cats, unlike dogs, do not respond as actively to their nickname.
To improve the reaction, you should choose a word that has sibilants. Cats respond well to them. You don’t have to think too hard and make up a nickname yourself from two syllables with sibilants, for example: Sisi, Zizi, Zota, Zhadi, Shusha, Shutta, Zhuzha, Sozi, Zita, Chacha, Chucha, Shilo. It is very easy for the owner to pronounce such a word, and the cat quickly gets used to it and responds with pleasure. Another nuance - the cat will like a name that ends in “and”: Airi, Abi, Lidi, Libby, Issy, Ani, Todi, Mickey, Yenny, Essi, Shadi, Shanny, Lucy, Fanny, Vini, Sessie, Kitty, Boni , Zoe, Chrisy, Molly and others.
