Names for black cats and male cats

Choosing the right nickname

Having become the owner of a fluffy black lump, many become confused. What to name a new family member? I want originality and simplicity, because the owner will have to repeat the nickname more than once a day. The name should include whistling sounds, since it is to their presence that our fluffies react.

A cat's delicate hearing picks up hissing and whistling combinations of letters best, which means the name will be perfectly recognized even from a long distance. Some argue that the presence of whistlers does not affect the pet’s response and is absolutely indifferent to its hearing, the main thing is that the name is pronounced often, gently, and the response to it is encouraged by something tasty.

People attach special significance to the name of their pet. It is believed that the way a cat is named determines its character and future fate. Having called the little robber Little Devil, one should not be surprised that the whole apartment will turn upside down after him. He will ride on curtains and climb on carpets, getting into the most remote corners of rooms.

Before naming the cat, it is recommended to observe its behavior for several days. It is better to spend a week on this process and choose an appropriate name than to name your pet with the first nickname you like, which will be completely opposite to its character.

You should choose several names and try to call the kitten. Animals react to some nicknames almost immediately, but do not respond to others. Having chosen a name, you need to accustom your pet to it. You should not change the nickname if the baby does not always answer the call or if one of the family members came up with a more sonorous name. So the animal may stop responding to any name altogether.

Fur color plays a huge role when choosing a name for an animal. It will be strange to hear - Snowball, and see a black baby. And Ryzhik is not suitable for a coal-black pet. But Ugolek and Chernysh are the most suitable nicknames. Let's consider numerous options for names for a black boy kitten.

The first thing that comes to mind is Black. Translated from English - black. The nickname is convenient because you can affectionately call the baby – Blackie. Animals sense the location of their owners and respond with a loud purr. If you want to scold a cat, just say Black sternly, and the animal will feel all the formality of the moment.
Nero also means black in Italian. The diminutive Nerik also has a right to exist.
Just Karik, Karych or Karusik.
By naming a cat in Japanese - Kuroi, you can hear the laughter of your neighbors, to whom the name will resemble something like a chicken. But not everyone can be a polyglot, so if Japanese culture is revered in the family, then the cat will respond to Kuroi.
Asuad sounds proud. Fans of Arabic TV series know that in translation it is still the same black color.
The Chinese call a black kitten Hei Mao, so you don’t have to invent anything new, but simply call your baby in Chinese, or in Japanese – Kuroneko, which is basically the same thing – a black cat.
If you want French romance, Nocturne, Maurice or Sander will be an excellent choice for a pet name.
For admirers of English traditions, the following nicknames are recommended: Ebony, Colton, Knight, Raven, Mist.
If you want to note the dark skin of the baby, you can call him Kieran, which translated from Celtic means black skin color. By the way, Kieranchik sounds quite interesting, the cat should like it.
