How to come up with a name for a cat?

Have you decided to get a cat or even already brought one home? It's time to think about a name. There are some tips on how to choose a name for a cat. You don't have to follow them, but it's worth learning about them:

It is believed that cats respond best to hissing and whistling sounds, especially “k” and “s”. It’s not for nothing that we call them “kitty-kitty.” There is also an opinion that cats only hear the first three sounds clearly, so the name should be short. If you choose a short name with a hissing sound, the cat will get used to it faster. Nevertheless, practice shows that cats get used to a variety of nicknames, including long ones.
Do not forget about euphony, call the animal with obscene and unpleasant names, names that are consonant with swear words. After all, it may happen that you have to walk down the street shouting this nickname loudly.
Be careful with human names. Not every friend will understand if a cat is named after him. Yes, and people with that name may appear in your environment.
Choose a nickname for the whole family. Each family member will have to say this word several times a day, so it is not advisable for anyone to have negative associations. Try to come to an agreement; there are often cases when different people call an animal differently. It is better to accustom the kitten to one name.
The nickname you choose should be pleasant to you and easy to pronounce. If you choose a long name, say it several times. Do you pronounce it easily, without stuttering?

How to teach a kitten to respond to its name

To quickly teach a kitten to respond to its name, re-read the works of physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the same one who formulated the principles of unconditioned and acquired reflexes. Because you will benefit from both principles.

Or you can not read these Talmuds, but remember your school biology lessons and try to independently develop a conditioned reflex in a kitten based on the innate one.

Calm down, you can do it!

A conditioned reflex (an expected reaction to the sound of a kitten's name) is developed on the basis of an unconditioned reflex (joy about a food reward).

The sound of the name - the smell of food - the sound of the name - feeding - praise.

That is, the baby is called by name before he enters the kitchen, but only when the food is already in the bowl!

When a small kitten appears in the house, all family members have an interesting task - to come up with a name for the pet. As you know, animals are our little brothers, which means that a new little younger brother (or sister) cannot do without a name. A nickname is as important for cats as a name is for a person; the fate of an animal can depend on the proper selection of a name.
