Names for cats from Roman mythology

In ancient Egypt, the cat was a symbol of fertility, and people worshiped the sun. If you think your pet is a divine being, look through Egyptian names for cats and tomcats and choose the one that suits you best.

Egyptian names are best for Sphynx cats. An ordinary domestic cat can also be given an exquisite name that comes from an ancient civilization. But boys and girls cannot be called the same - Egyptian male and female names are very different from each other.

Which cats have Egyptian names?

By and large, the Egyptian name is suitable for all representatives of the cat family, regardless of their appearance and breed. The fact is that cats have a noble, proud disposition. These animals are independent and regal, these are the character traits that were inherent in the Egyptian gods, pharaohs and ancient rulers.

The Egyptians have always treated representatives of the cat family with special awe and respect. It is not for nothing that in ancient mythology there is such a character as the goddess Bastet, who looks like a woman with the head of a cat.

History describes an interesting case when Egyptian warriors had to lay down their weapons and surrender to their enemies for the sole reason that their opponents, knowing the special attitude of the Egyptians towards cats, tied these animals to their shields.

But still, there are certain breeds of cats for which Egyptian nicknames will be the most harmonious and organic:

• Somalia;
• Abyssinian cat;
• Bengal cat;
• Canadian Sphynx.

However, laconic, sonorous and original names can be chosen for a furry pet of any breed, in accordance with its character traits, behavior and external characteristics.
