Even before a kitten appears in the house, the owners choose a name for it. In nurseries of purebred animals, the breeder issues passports for the kittens and immediately gives them a nickname. But the new owners don’t always like it, and they themselves come up with a name for the pet. When choosing, the main thing is that it should be short and sonorous, and be liked by all family members. We hope our recommendations will help you find the best nickname for a boy cat.

- Blaze (blaze) – “flame”, a beautiful name for a beautiful fiery red cat;
- Checkers (checkers) - “checkers”. Why not if your pet is black and white;
- Espresso (espresso) - “espresso”, the name is suitable for a chocolate-colored cat;
- Pearl (pearl) - “pearl”;
- Pepper (pepper) - “pepper”, which is not a nickname for an active cat of a smoky color, cool pepper;
- Raven (Raven), of course, is the best nickname for a pitch-black cat;
- Rebel (rebel) - “rebel”. Here, rather, the choice of name is based on character, and not on color. However, for a tabby cat this is an ideal option; in such animals you can sometimes observe a real riot of colors, and not one cat is like the other;
- Rusty (grow) - “rusty”. The translation is not very euphonious, but the word itself is beautiful and would be perfect for a ginger cat;
- Tiger (tiger) - “tiger”, so what if it’s small, it’s cool to have your own pet tiger;
- Tux (dachshund) – “tuxedo”, another variant of the nickname for a cat with a monochrome, black and white color. By the way, there are these “intellectuals” whose color resembles a real tuxedo - white chest, black back.
