How to choose a name for a boy kitten
Choosing nicknames for cats is not as easy as it seems at first glance, because you need to take into account a number of factors. First of all, it must contain at least one hissing sound. These include “k”, “s” and “sh” . This is explained by the fact that the sounds are similar to cat “speech”, so the little kitten will associate its nickname with the sounds that the mother cat makes, so it will be easy for him to get used to it. It is not advisable to choose long names for cats - optimally up to two or three syllables. Nicknames for cats can contain a larger number of syllables, but it is better if they are abbreviated. This will make it easier for both the cat and the family to get used to it when the pet has already settled in and becomes “one of our own.” The selection is based on the following criteria:
- External characteristics of the animal, its breed;
- Character traits (calm or lively, sleepy or active);
- Food preferences;
- Personal interests of the owner;
- Certain manners;
- Distinctive marks, for example, a spot in an atypical place or drooping ears.
It would be best to show the cat's individuality with a light nickname. Then even people who have never seen it will be able to understand what kind of animal it is. The distinctive features are different: leopard color, energetic disposition, and the like.
How to accustom a kitten to its name
It often happens that even after finding nicknames for cats, owners note in bewilderment that the kitten does not respond to any of them. Naming the cat is the first and fairly simple step. But in order to get used to it, it may take up to several months.
It wouldn’t hurt to re-read the works of the famous Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov to understand how conditioned and unconditioned reflexes function. When choosing names for boys' cats, you should understand that they will have to be trained on the principle of forming an unconditioned reflex, the features of which are known to many from school times.
So, the conditioned reflex (which needs to be formed, that is, “the kitten responds to its name”) is formed on the basis of the unconditioned (joy about the tasty food received). The chain looks like this: name - smell of food - name - feeding - praise.
Following this principle, training looks like this:
- Say a nickname (unusual names can also be chosen - it doesn’t matter);
- Feeding;
- Sound reinforcement.
Then you need to show affection and love for the animal. Some are crazy about scratching behind the ear or on the tummy, others are demanding to be picked up. But there are willful animals who prefer to receive a portion of encouragement whenever they wish.
