How to name a cat based on external features

The name for a pet can be determined by its appearance; just take a close look at it. It should not be forgotten that with age a tiny kitten can change and turn into, say, a large and clumsy giant. However, the nickname can be treated with humor. Agree, such nicknames for Maine Coons as Pups, Dwarf, Mini, Baby will sound funny when your pet weighs about 10 kg.

By the way! Height, weight, eye color, unusual shape of ears, abundance of fur or color - this is an excellent guide when choosing a nickname for a handsome pet, and it doesn’t matter whether he is purebred or not.

By coat length

If your cat’s coat is soft, thick and fluffy, then it can be safely called Pusha, Pushinka, Pusya, Pushilda or Fluffy (from English “fluffy”).

A suitable name for a fluffy cat would be Shaggy, Fluffy, Fluffy, Snowball, or even just Pooh.

What a cool way to name a kitten >>

A short-haired kitten can be given the nickname Bast (the goddess of fertility, in whose honor such cats were considered sacred in Ancient Egypt).

A cat without hair can proudly bear the name Lysik, Lys, Baldy (from the English “bald”). In addition, you can come up with a cool name for a bald boy, such as Shrek, Lunatic, Space or Alien (not like everyone else).

A suitable nickname for a girl is Lyska or Callie (from German “bald”).

By ear type

Touching drooping ears always create the impression of childish playfulness, even in an adult cat. Therefore, the nickname Nyashka, Kapitoshka or Motya is perfect for a gray, fold-eared boy. For a Scottish Fold girl, you can choose an equally funny name, for example, Visloushka, Lyalya, Klyaksa, Drop.

The Scottish Straight cat (Scottish Straight) can be called Asterisk, Chamomile, Lace. If the kitten also likes to frolic, you can safely give him a name in accordance with the name of the brand of your favorite car: Bentley, Toyota, Ferrari or Porsche.

If you notice that your pet has unusually large ears, or relatively wide at the base, name him Mickey, Cheburashka or Cheburakha. Only you and your friends will know the secret origin of this funny nickname.

By eye color

The variety of eye shades that our mustachioed pets may have is a source of inspiration and creation for many poets and artists. All you have to do is show a little imagination, and a nickname for a kitten with expressive eyes will appear by itself.

So, for example, the name Sineglazka, Snezhka or Zhemchuzhinka is perfect for a blue-eyed cat. In addition, such a kitten can be given the nickname of a precious stone, which can be blue: Turquoise, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Zircon, Spinel.

A boy with blue eyes can be called Iceberg or Sky (from the English “sky”). You can recall the mythological system of some people, and give the kitten an unusual and even magical name: Arnemecia (goddess of water), Hapi (god of the water elements), Dana (goddess of water).

A cat with different eyes can proudly bear the name Kui (from the Greek “precious”), Rarity, Rarity or Rarri (from the English “rarity”).

Funny and cool nicknames

A sense of humor is a lifeline in our hectic world. Give the kitten a funny name so that just the name will lift your spirits!

Legends and myths about the tricolor cat

Maneki-neko figurines are popular in Japan and bring good luck.

Tricolor cats have always attracted attention with their fur. In Muslim countries, it is believed that such an animal will protect the home from fire. The British believe that these furry friends are the guardians of family comfort. The Japanese are sure that an animal of this color brings good luck, so sailors used to take a multi-colored tailed animal onto their ship.

The Land of the Rising Sun also has a legend about Goto-kuji Temple, which tells the story of the friendship between a monk and a small calico kitten in 1615. The abbot loved the animal very much and looked after it a lot. Soon the sacred place had to close due to money problems. The monk shared his sadness with his pet. The cat, realizing that the owner needed help, found a source of funding for the treasury.

The smart tailed one saved the life of Prince Ii Naotaki. The prince was returning from a military campaign during a thunderstorm. He hid under a tree near a sacred place. The cat noticed Ii Naotaki and pointed at the temple with his paw. As soon as Ii Naotaki went indoors, a strong lightning struck the tree. The prince was grateful to his four-legged friend for his unusual rescue. He helped the temple financially. Since then, the tricolor cat has been considered a harbinger of prosperity. In modern Japan, in connection with this story, figurines of cats with a raised paw are popular.

Basic criteria for choosing a nickname

To choose a name for your pet, you should consider the following indicators:

it should be sonorous and simple (no more than 2-3 syllables), so that it is easier for the animal to remember, and also easier for the owner to pronounce when he calls the kitten;
the nickname must contain whistling, hissing sounds;
the breed of the pet, since certain nicknames may be suitable, for example, for the British or Scots;
appearance of a cat: color of fur, eyes;
character traits: gracefulness, clumsiness, playfulness;
the age of the animal, if it takes too long to choose a nickname, the pet may grow up during this time and not accept it;
preferences of the animal itself, which is capable of perceiving the first three sounds of its name.

The name of a tricolor pet should be simple and sonorous

When choosing a suitable name for your four-legged friend, you should make a list of all the nicknames you like and then cross out the most inappropriate names from it. Using this method of elimination, you can find the only nickname that both the owner and the kitten will like.

Choosing a name for a cat based on color

You can name a tricolor cat with a predominance of white on its fur after the names of ancient goddesses, female protectors:

Artemis - the Greek lunar goddess, patroness of not only hunters, but children and women (in Roman mythology her name was Diana);
Athens - bestower of wisdom and cunning;
Bast - Greek cat goddess;
Dana - Celtic goddess, ancestor of all living things;
Isis - Egyptian Mother Earth;
Hera - the patroness of the family hearth (in Roman mythology her name was Juno);
Mokosha - Slavic goddess, patroness of women, femininity, handicrafts;
Menhit - Egyptian lioness goddess.

You can simplify the name: instead of Diana, call it Dina, instead of Juno - Yunaya, instead of Bast - Basya.

Another option is to choose nicknames that begin with the letter of the main color.

black – Chara, Chapa, China, Chereshenka, Cherry;
red - Rose, Ryzhukha, Lynx, Rufa, Roxy, Rada;
white – Bonya, Basya, Bella, Betty, Bianca, Baby, Brandy, Belle;
gray – Sonya, Sima, Siren, Sue.

Main color – white

As a rule, the main color of calico cats is white. In esotericism, this animal is considered the guardian of the family hearth and mothers, and a protector from any negative energy flows. In white pets these powers are increased.

Suitable names are those associated with Deities and Protectors of people, for example:

Artemis personified the Moon and favored hunters. She gave courage to those who risked entering into an unequal battle. She provided patronage to children and mothers.
Minerva is one of the most famous Goddesses. The war favored and helped and endowed them with the ingenuity and wisdom necessary for victory.
Bastet is the Goddess of the hearth and cats. At the same time, it helped me gain courage.
Brid is also a Goddess who protects families. Refers to Celtic mythology.
Hecate - helps ensure that any trip or move ends safely. This would be a great name for a kitten about to enter a new home.
Hera or Juno is the protector of family values.
Kuan Yin is an Eastern Goddess who teaches compassion, forgiveness and can heal when needed.
Demeter (Ceres) is a Goddess who will help reap a good harvest and improve the financial situation of the family.
Isis is an Ancient Egyptian Goddess who will help improve magical abilities.

Naturally, any name can be changed, but it is necessary that the name has meaning. The name Juno easily turns into Yuna, and Bastet into Basyu. Remember the meaning you put into your pet's name.

Choosing a name for a purebred tricolor cat

A cat with a pedigree must correspond to the status of the breed, but for ordinary yard animals, sonorous names will also come in handy:

Iris, Aina, Amelia;
Wendy, Viola, Vanessa;
Gabi, Grace, Geisha;
Diva, Dolly, Jessie;
Zara, Zena, Zippy;
Ishel, Ivona, Idzhi;
Kelly, Kate, Corey, Kitty;
Leya, Lakshi, Larsi;
Mendy, Mona, Mia;
Nora, Neilin, Nolly;
Audrey, Ollie, Ornessa;
Petra, Patrisse;

Uma, Welsey;
Fairy, Fanny, Freya;
Hussey, Holly, Hella;
Shebi, Sherry, Charlene;
Ellie, Abby, Erin;

In this regard, you can give it the following names:

It’s appropriate to call a cute cat with a calm character a Princess

for purrs with a dominant white color: Snezhanna;
Bella;
Pearl;
Star;
Alba;
Snowball;
Ivory;

for beauties whose fur consists more of red color:

Fox;

Laura;

if your pet has a mostly black coat color:

Panther;

Find;

Shadow;

Smol;

Bagheera;

Choco.

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.

Tips for choosing a name

Sometimes a pet's name is associated with its character and qualities. But at the same time, it must be thoughtful so that the pet responds to its name at the owner’s first call. Sources for inspiration when choosing a name for a cat can be the names of people, characters from fairy tales, cartoons or films, the names of cities and countries, flowers or food.

Beautiful tricolor cat

When choosing a name for a cat, the owner should pay attention to the following:

In order for a cat to quickly get used to its name and begin to respond to it, it is necessary that it contains hissing consonants - sha, sha, che. Such sounds will definitely attract the pet’s attention, thanks to which he will remember his nickname in a couple of days, for example, Francesca, Glasha, Chelsea, Sliver, Yummy, Bee, Rachel;
nicknames that contain the sounds s and z, in combination with the letters b, k, t, for example, Dusya, Marquise, Fisa, Musya, will be very expressive;
experienced breeders recommend choosing a name so that the emphasis falls on the first syllable, so the animal will feel that its name is, for example, Asya, Alice, Bonya, Lyusya;
if you want to choose a long name, then it is better to come up with something shortened and consonant with the real one, for example, Isabella-Dorothea - Bella / Dora, Ivy-Brittany - Betty / Brivi. But you need to stop at one option, since the cat will not understand what name it should respond to.

Note! You should not choose rude nicknames, thinking that it is fun. The cat, of course, will not understand that it was called an obscene word, but friends and relatives may be very surprised by this choice. If you decide to make a new friend, then you need to show him respect.

Recommendations

To make choosing a name easier, we recommend selecting several options from a large number. Then take a closer look at your pet, say the selected nicknames several times, trying on them. If the cat shows interest in one of the options, feel free to choose it. If not, you will have to take full responsibility upon yourself.
