Scottish cats are very popular because of their plush appearance and friendly nature. As with the appearance of any other animal in the house, the “Scottish boy” will need a suitable nickname. Which one is better to choose for a gray kitten? What if he has patches of white fur? And don’t forget about the unusual appearance – the ears of both Fold and Straight deserve admiring glances. The range of options will narrow as soon as you start going through names in the search. Moreover, the name should emphasize the individuality of the pet. “Barsik” is unlikely to fit here. So what to do? An individual approach and a little imagination will help here.
