British shorthair kitten

First of all, you need to decide on the purpose of purchasing the animal. The place where you will purchase the pet and its cost will directly depend on this.

The most expensive kittens will cost you are show-class kittens, which can be purchased in specialized nurseries. They usually meet the breed standard and have excellent characteristics in order to take prizes at various exhibitions. If you choose a kitten to participate in exhibitions, be sure to contact a specialized cattery with a good reputation so that you are not sold a mixed breed.

As a rule, a conscientious seller will, upon request, provide you with all the necessary documents confirming that the chosen cat has a good pedigree. These are the ones you should pay attention to if you are purchasing an animal to participate in exhibitions.

If you choose a kitten exclusively for yourself, then you can find a cheaper option. Again, it is best to contact specialized nurseries to be sure that the pet will be healthy. However, if you have a reputable breeder in mind, you can try contacting them.

When you come to the nursery or breeder, be sure to make sure that the animals are kept as they should be. The room should be clean, the kittens themselves should have enough space so that they can play and frolic, and the place to rest should be as comfortable as possible.

Also pay attention to the condition of the animals - they should be well-fed and active. Make sure that the breeder does not skimp on keeping the cats, that they are fed and healthy. If you see that everything around is very dirty, the kittens are locked in cramped enclosures, they do not eat enough and they have fleas, it is better to immediately stop working with such a breeder and advise him against others.

To make sure that the kitten is healthy, inspect it carefully before purchasing. Make sure that there are no inflammations in the ears and eyes, that the fur is clean and free of fleas. Also, gently feel the kitten's paws to make sure there are no dislocations.

Among other things, pay attention to the baby’s behavior. The best option is a curious cat who shows interest and friendliness towards you. But a sick cat, most likely, will not show much desire to get to know each other better, but will behave very sluggishly. Therefore, choose a cat carefully, and even if you are ready to adopt a sick animal, you must know exactly what it needs to be cured for.

You should not choose “simple” names and nicknames as nicknames (Ivan, Vasily, Murzik, Murchik, etc.) or completely dissonant (and to some extent frightening) nicknames like Lucifer, Lilith or Beelzebub. Now we will tell you how to name a Bengal kitten - a boy or a girl.

To the boy

So, what names are suitable for a male kitten? It is believed that it is necessary to name your pets, emphasizing their status. However, no one forbids you to choose the name that you personally like, even if the nickname may seem ridiculous or funny to others. It is also advisable to choose a nickname in such a way that it is convenient for you to shorten it.

So, here are several options for nicknames for your pet:

Richard;
Charles;
Chester;
Basil;
Edgar;
Felix;
Ferdinand;
Simba;
Jesse;
Isaac;
Tino;
Martin;
Shannon;
Oscar;
Pascal;
Joyce;
Jamie;
Francis;
Franz;
Jean;
Ginger;
Jake;
Mortimer.

You can also choose a nickname in such a way that it emphasizes one or another character trait or appearance of your cat. For example, you can call him Chubby or Balloon if your pet is fat, but if he runs very fast, you can call your cat Flash. You can also name it after your favorite character from a book or movie (TV series) that your pet may remind you of. There are no restrictions - everything depends solely on your imagination.

To a girl

Girl cats are named according to the same principle as boys. You can choose a name from the list based on the character or appearance of your pet, or from associations associated with your cat. It could even be the name of your favorite singer, actress or book (or TV series) heroine. The main rule: you should like the name and be well received by the cat, and if these two points are taken into account, there should be no problems.

So, here are some options for nicknames for your pet:

Jess;
Phoebe;
Jane;
Ellie;
Lottie;
Sunny;

If the kitten is purebred, then, as a rule, the nursery or breeder names the litters in order by a specific letter of the alphabet. More often, the first litters are named by the name of the nursery itself (by all letters of the name in turn) or simply starting with the letter “A” and onwards.

How can you name a kitten so that the name is beautiful and easy?

Names for cats in the pedigree and pet names of cats may differ. You can choose a long royal name and write it down in documents, and at home come up with a short nickname that is consonant with this name.

You can take into account the breed of cats and choose nicknames for the British cat (British), for Sphynxes, Scottish folds, Persians and other cat breeds. Noble names suit such high-breed animals; they are often called knights or heroes from books and fairy tales.

After buying a Bengal, a completely obvious question arises in front of you: “What to name the kitten?” His passport should already have a name on it, but if you don't like it, you can choose another one.

It is important that your pet’s new name begins with the exact letter that the name on the passport begins with. For example, if the name Alpha is indicated in the pet’s passport, then the new nickname should begin with the letter “A”.

It is necessary to approach the choice of a name for your new friend with great responsibility; his fate largely depends on the name of the pet.

If you already had a pet before this kitten, then you should not call the Bengal by the name of your old pet. There is a sign that in this case the fate of the previous bearer of the name is passed on to the cats.

The name should not be too long. If it is difficult to pronounce, it will not only cause inconvenience to you in pronunciation, but will be meaningless: cats simply will not remember it.

Cat names should have hissing sounds. It has been proven that if the name of an animal contains hissing sounds, she reacts better to it and remembers it faster.

The basic rule when choosing a name for your pets is to say the names out loud and observe their reaction. If the cat responds or gives some kind of sign (after all, Bengals are one of the smartest cats), then it will like this name, which means it’s worth settling on it.

Bengali and Indian nicknames

Bengal kittens are considered an elite, noble breed. From the moment of birth, documents are drawn up for them: information about their parents, their place of birth is written down, and names are also assigned. Most often, they are quite bulky and are not quite suitable for everyday use at home. Therefore, the owner should think about modifying the official nickname or replacing it completely. For example, attractive options for aristocratic names for males and females:

Alberto, Antonio.
Victor, Wilhelm.
Hector, Georgy.
Marquis, Morcel.
Norton, Nicola.
Pablo, Patrick.
Socrates, Sandro.
Emil, Edward.
Agatha, Ariadne.
Darina, Dominika,
Letizia, Laura.
Marquis, Milan.
Audrey.
Stella, Suzanne, Sylvia.
Paulina, Patricia.
Ria, Ruth, Rockel.
Chiara.

Features of choice

Bengal cats are very expensive. This is an exotic breed that not everyone can afford. The nickname must correspond to the high status of the purebred pet. Of course, the choice of nickname depends entirely on the taste and desire of the owner, but you should think carefully before calling the graceful predator with a leopard skin “Murka”.

You should also immediately decide whether the pet will participate in exhibitions, or whether it will serve as a companion and friend. In the first case, it is better to choose a more noble and beautiful name, because it is likely that the cat’s name will often be called publicly during exhibitions.

The owner will have to repeat the pet’s nickname many times. This is why you should not choose complex and difficult to pronounce words. If you really liked some unusual name, you should immediately determine its short form, which will be convenient to use in everyday life, and which should be taught to the cat.

Often, purebred cats are sold with documents that already indicate the name of the pet. The nickname given by the breeder may depend on many factors, but it is not always to the taste of the new owners. In this case, the official name will remain only in the documents, and you can come up with a pet nickname for the animal.

Bengal cats have fairly high intelligence. They easily learn different tricks. In addition, they are quite capable of responding to their own name. Bengals best accept nicknames consisting of 1-2 two syllables. The name must contain hissing or whistling sounds. This way the pet will get used to the name much faster and will immediately respond to it.

You should not constantly call your cat different variations of its name or diminutive words. This will make it more difficult for your pet to learn its official name.

Nicknames by color

The appearance of a domestic cat is a frequent source of inspiration. Bengal kittens can be white, silver or marbled in color, even charcoal or brown. So, boys can be called:

Leo;
Snowball;
Marshmallow;
Cloud;
Iceberg;
Sugar;
Belyak;
Chalk;
Fluff or Pooh;
Cottage cheese;
Leopard;
Smoke;
Fog;
Ash;
Grey;
Sirius;
Ogonyok;
Amber;
Opal;
Devil, Chernysh;
Ember.

Cat Ogonyok and kitty Pearl

For girls, you can consider the following names:

Bella;
Snowflake;
Angelina;

Night;

Snow (“snow”);
Gray (“gray”);
Fog (“fog”);
Rhine (“rain”);
Smokey (“smoke”);
Black (“black”);
Baig (“fawn”).

The name for a cat can be common or individual, reflecting the temperament or emphasizing the color of the animal's coat. But in any case, it is useful to include the hissing letters of the alphabet in the names - ch, sh or shch, because it is to these sounds that cats react more readily than others.
