Features of choosing a name

Scottish Fold cats, like straight-eared cats (Scottish Straight), are bred mainly in specialized nurseries, where they receive names at birth. These nicknames fit into the passport.

They often turn out to be too long and difficult to pronounce. For ease of pronunciation, owners shorten them or come up with others that are more suitable for the cat.

The following recommendations will help you choose the right name for your pet:

The nickname should be short and easy to pronounce. So, if necessary, the owner will be able to quickly call the cat, and he, in turn, will quickly remember the name;
You should not give preference to diminutive names. They are more suitable for kittens, and the pet will not always be a baby;
It is desirable that the nickname contain the letters Zh, Z, S, Ch, Sh, Sh. Cats react more readily to these sounds;
you need to remember that when the cat gets used to the nickname, it will no longer be possible to rename it.

By color

Scottish Fold cats have more than 25 coat colors. The most common:

white;
cream;
grey;
black;
marble;
chocolate;
brindle.

For this reason, coat color is one of the easiest reasons for choosing a name for a Scottish Fold cat. For example, you can name a gray Scot: Ash, Gray, Fog, Smoke, Smokey, Serka.

Options for female names for Scottish Fold cats by color: Bagheera, Burenka, Vanilla, Crow, Goldie, Mustard, Zlata, Klyaksa, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Malvina, Nochka, Paprika, Soot, Sunny, Salt, Fanta.

Male nicknames for Scottish Folds by color: Apricot, Orange, Arctic, Yolk, Pearl, Leva, Ice, Ray, Onyx, Pepper, Peach, Rice, Ruby, Sapphire, Sugar, Tiger, Coal.

If the owners do not have options for a name for a kitten in accordance with its color, there is no need to come up with an uninteresting nickname for the baby (for example, Snowball for a white pet, Chernysh for a black pet, or Mouse for a gray pet). It is better to choose a nickname based on other criteria.

The nature

Scottish cats are very friendly by nature. They are balanced, do not show aggression, and get along well with children and pets. In a family, these cats usually choose one owner for themselves and show him their love. They behave politely with the rest of the household.

The Scots are not very active. The kitten can be left alone without fear of wallpaper, furniture or curtains. He will quickly find a game for himself and will not damage property.

In the cat world, Scots are considered one of the easiest breeds to train. They quickly get used to the tray and scratching post, so in the future they will not create any special problems for their owners.

Often the main criterion for choosing nicknames for Scottish Fold cats is their sweet disposition. They are often named after cartoon and book characters known for their good nature. Also among the Scots, nicknames are common that emphasize all the advantages of the character of this breed.

However, on the first day of meeting you should not name your pet based on the general characteristics of the representatives of the breed. It is better to watch the baby for a while and give him a nickname that will reflect his individual characteristics.

Examples of nicknames for cats of the Scottish breed by character: Athena, Gryzka, Darling, Egoza, Tuffnut, Sneaky, Carmen, Kusaka, Lapa, Fox, Mila, Nezhka, Bullet, Puma, Sonya, Fury, Tsatsa, Shmyga, Yula.

Nicknames for Scottish Fold cats by character: Ataman, Buyan, Vulcan, Cheetah, Demon, Rogue, Casanova, Milash, Morpheus, Glutton, Pirate, Tikhon, Scratch, Gypsy, Sherlock, Schumacher, Shustrik.

By origin

The first Scottish Fold kitten appeared in 1961 on a farm in the Scottish village of Cupar Angus as a result of a genetic mutation.

Fold-eared Scots almost immediately became popular. In 1974, the breed was recognized by the international Cat Fanciers Association (CFA), one of the largest and most prestigious felinological organizations in the world.

The nickname for a Scottish cat can be based on popular Scottish names, for example, Duncan, Gregor, Moina or Glenna.

An excellent option would be abbreviations for the attractions of your pet’s homeland:
