Check out!

How to choose cat names?

Before going through the entire list of suggestions and selecting your favorites, know that it is important to make your choice keeping some important details in mind to avoid problems or regrets:

Simpler and shorter names prevent pets from getting confused. Communication can be more difficult with very long and/or complicated pronunciations. Don’t associate the name with some kind of scolding. The cat may have a negative image of that sound and no longer respond to calls. Be careful with options that may cause embarrassment. The initial joke may end up causing embarrassment later on. Take your personality into account when choosing, such as favorite characters, musical taste, and favorite foods. But don’t forget to analyze whether it also suits the kitten.
