How to teach a kitten to respond to its name

To quickly teach a kitten to respond to its name, re-read the works of physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the same one who formulated the principles of unconditioned and acquired reflexes. Because you will benefit from both principles.

Or you can not read these Talmuds, but remember your school biology lessons and try to independently develop a conditioned reflex in a kitten based on the innate one.

Calm down, you can do it!

A conditioned reflex (an expected reaction to the sound of a kitten's name) is developed on the basis of an unconditioned reflex (joy about a food reward).

The sound of the name - the smell of food - the sound of the name - feeding - praise.

That is, the baby is called by name before he enters the kitchen, but only when the food is already in the bowl!

Famous tabby cats

Many mustachioed stripes played roles in films and also became cartoon characters. And their names can be taken as a basis when choosing a nickname for your tailed friend.

Jonesy from the movie Alien. The red tabby cat in the film was a passenger on a spaceship. Interestingly, this role was played by as many as four cats.
Cat from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". This cat without a name was played by a red-tailed cat, whose real name is Ryzhik.
Brad Pitt from the film “I Want Like Bridget.” The main character named this red striped handsome man in honor of her favorite actor.
Bob from the movie "A Street Cat Named Bob." This red-haired furry played himself in the biographical film and helped the main character improve his difficult life.
Ulysses from Inside Llewyn Davis. And again, another redhead who became the main character of the film and brought a special charm to it.
Lucky from the series "Alf". A furry alien repeatedly tried to eat this poor fellow, but the baby, fortunately, remained unharmed.
Cat from the film "The Godfather". This is a simple tabby cat with no name, which actually ended up in the frame completely by accident, because she was just running around the set.
Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. The fluffy, smiling handsome man became one of the main characters of the film fairy tale and was very much loved by the audience.
"Tonto" from the movie "Harry and Tonto". An orange tabby cat travels with its owner, a pensioner evicted from his own home.
Garfield from the film of the same name. The cartoonish fat ginger loves to eat, but sometimes gets distracted from what he loves to do to help his careless owner.
Pepper from the film "Gentlemen's Games". Perchik lived quietly with his mistress, but after an adventurer appeared in the house, he joined a gang of criminals.
Matroskin from a series of cartoons about the village of Prostokvashino. Perhaps the most beloved cat from the old Soviet past.

The funniest and most original names for cats

For a long time, the coolest cat name was the nickname of the dubstep star - Skifcha. This unz-unz-purr (or rather, his owner with his videos on Vimeo) blew up the Internet. And, probably, he was not going to give up his position. But people asked the question “Was it possible?”, after which the level of creativity in choosing nicknames slowly but surely began to grow.

For cats

The times when cats were called respectable pundits are happily passing. Of course, big boys have big nicknames. It’s just that not everyone needs to be a Cornelius or a Sigismund. And these examples already smell of mothballs.

Our top 5 cool cat names: Muskrat, Joulupukki (the same one), Mir, Haribober, Thestral (Lucifer is long outdated).

For cats

Things change for ladies too. Just a couple of years ago, all Princesses and Salomes responded to the call. Now stylish chiculites with unusual names are resorting to bipeds.

Our top 5 cool nicknames for cats: Vuvuzela (for loud girls like this horn), Demur, Giraffle, Kala (“fish” in Estonian), Multifora.

Not the best options

When choosing a suitable name, it is worth avoiding nicknames that are not recommended for giving to pets. To avoid mistakes, you can listen to the advice of experienced owners and breeders:

You should not name a kitten the same as a deceased pet . The life cycle of cats is much shorter than that of humans, and in addition, they often get sick and injured. When a pet “goes to the rainbow”, inconsolable owners try to replace it with another pet. And even if this happened, it is extremely undesirable to name a cat after its predecessor, since it may carry a negative imprint.
The nickname should not be offensive or obscene . No matter how funny the cat looks, and no matter what “tricks” it does, you should not give it a nickname that puts it in a “bad light.” It may sound funny in the family circle, but in front of guests and strangers it’s bad manners to call your pet.
Names with negative energy . Glorifying your pet with the name of the king of the dead, the guide of the afterlife, or the Devil (Lucifer, the Devil, Satan, Beelzebub, etc.), you should not expect that he will become the protector of the hearth. Rather, the cat will become a source of evil spirits.

Using celebrity names

It’s not a sin to lay claim to Snoop Dogg’s laurels, especially since he’s not the first, and he’s not the last. The names of famous people, in an explicit or not so obvious form, have always been used to name cats. It’s just that today people rarely make of this allusion that was fashionable in the last century in the spirit of “guess who I meant,” straightforwardly calling the pet Riana, Duane or Karl Lagerfeld.

Perlman. Ron Perlman

In this format, the owner’s passion for a particular person matters, as well as the idol’s resemblance to a rumbling roommate. Why not name the black oriental cat Naomi if this star delights the owner?

Japanese names for cats

Mysterious and amazing Japan is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. Some people will not accept this country, but others will think that there is no more beautiful place in the world. The melodious language of the land of the rising sun fascinates with its exquisite brevity. And cats are revered there almost like in Ancient Egypt. So is it any wonder that many people are happy to call their pets with exotic Japanese names? The answer is negative.

Whoever doesn't drink tsai is tsmo

However, the spread of anime culture did not pass without a trace for Russia. As a result, Japanese names have become somewhat populous. Eg:

Yuki (snow) - this is often the name of snow-white fluffies;
Aki, Akito (autumn, autumn) - found in red-tailed pets;
Sakura (cherry blossom) - for sophisticated cat ladies;
Yoshi (lucky) - this name is given to kittens rescued from the streets;
Chidori or Cutie Chii is a nickname for striped pets that are funny in childhood, like the anime character known by this name;
Nyanko-sensei is another anime cat with a red spot, who, with his imitation of a cat's meow in Japanese (Nya!), has earned good fame among cat owners;
Totoro - although the character from the cartoon of the same name bears little resemblance to a cat, this does not stop people and they call their gray pets that way;
Naruto is another famous hero of the hand-drawn saga, who has become an equally popular household name among owners of furry-tailed devils;
Kami is a general name for a deity in Japan, so the love for such a nickname among adherents of the cat cult is not surprising;
Neko is the last name on the list, but not the most common one, literally translated as - unexpectedly! - "cat".

And the gods created cats...

The expansion of popular culture leads to the fact that you can choose a really cool name option only by moving away from the mainstream. To guide you, we have collected 10 rare Japanese names that are suitable for cats or cats.

Haineko (gray cat)
Toshiro (white lion)
Hikari (light, light)
Miyako (child of the night)
Kameko (long-lived)
Aimi (beautiful love)
Hainami (rare beauty)
Ena (gift of higher powers)
Tsuki (moon)
Koji (tiger cub)

By the way, February 22 is celebrated as Cat Day in Japan. The celebration is associated with the consonance of the meowing “nyan-nyan-nyan” and the three repetitions of the number two. That is 2.22. As part of the mass celebrations, a large festival is held in Tokyo, where cats with the most unique habits receive prizes. It’s a pity that there are no gifts for original names yet.
