Criteria for choosing a nickname
When naming a Siamese cat, you should adhere to the following rules:
- Sonority (the sounds “r”, “m”, “s”, “sh” can be heard well).
- Brevity.
- Meaning associated with origin, character and appearance.
- It is important that the animal itself likes the name.
It is believed that a well-chosen nickname is the key to good luck that a cat brings into the house. To attract wealth, Siamese are often called Bucks, Yen, Zlata. The nicknames Tai and Siam are common worldwide.
Wanting to welcome happiness into the family, they usually get tricolor pets. These are given the names Lucky, Lada and Felix. Those who consider love to be the main thing in life, having a cat, call him Cupid, and the cat Venus.
How to choose a sonorous name
Once in an unfamiliar house, the kitten looks scared and confused. It requires attention and communication. The first thing to do in this case is to teach the baby to respond to his own name. This way the kitten will adapt faster and begin to understand the intonations of the new owner.
Siamese cats, like all others, respond well to hissing consonants.
To speed up the habituation process, it is recommended to choose a name that consists of sounds that are simple for the kitten. As you know, kittens remember the sounds “k”, “s”, “sh” faster. If you choose a nickname that contains several of these sounds, the baby will learn to respond much faster.
The more concise the nickname, the faster the kitten will master it.
In the case of various “Isabellas,” the owner will have to suffer. Cats simply ignore long, complex and silent words. In such cases, the owner quickly gets tired of calling the pet a long name and involuntarily shortens it. To prevent Josephine from becoming Josey, it is not advisable to choose names that are too descriptive, no matter how beautiful they may seem.
By appearance
When choosing a name, you can focus on the color of the coat.
- Brown: Bounty, Brown, Cocoa, Caffeine, Toffee, Caramel, Truffle.
- Silver: Ice, Squirrel, Belle, Gray, Zephyra, Lily of the Valley, Milka, Mirage, Jade, Chamois, Silva, Snezhana.
- Lilac: Violetta, Blackberry, Lilu, Lily, Pomegranate, Hydrangea, Winter, Crocus.
- Blue: Blue, Cornflower, Vasilisa, Golubka, Ocean, Sky.
How they appeared, where they came from
The mystery of how the cat became a pet remained unsolved. In ancient times, people domesticated those animals that were used as food or those that could help in capturing other animals. Most researchers are inclined to believe that cats were first seen in households about five thousand years ago in Egypt.

The first century AD was marked by the appearance of the cat family in Europe and Ancient Rus'. Data from archaeological research suggest that only in the 7th century did the cat become the guardian of the family hearth. The largest number live in the United States , but in Peru and Gabon it is practically impossible to meet these representatives of mammals.
Today cats are almost no different from their distant ancestors, just as proud with an independent character and habits. There is only one difference - adaptation to home coziness, comfort and warmth. They love cleanliness, order and a calm environment in the house. The modern cat has modern habits, and every year new breeds of these cute creatures appear.
No matter how science and history develop, the cat was and remains one of the most mysterious and fascinating creatures on earth.
