Nicknames based on the character of Scottish cats

There is an opinion that representatives of the Scottish breed are aggressive and even among household members they choose only one owner. This is not so, cats of this breed are incredibly good-natured and open, and kittens with increased aggressiveness cannot be found in litters. But these animals have one character trait - they will endure to the last, without showing their temper, but when their cup of patience is overflowing, the offender will not find it enough.

It cannot be said that all representatives of this breed tend to have the same character traits and behavioral habits. There are so many Scottish cats, so many different customs. Scottish cat breeds, just like people, have different characters and dispositions. Those who like to constantly play or sleep are equally common. Some sleep constantly, others are restless even in adulthood, others are calm and arrogant.

For each character type, you can choose your own nickname, which will describe the pet’s behavior and life priorities. If the kitten is restless, he is interested in everything, and he is ready to exchange a tasty morsel of food for adventure, the following names will suit him: Paul (for nimble cats), Logan (dexterous), Bernard (brave).

For phlegmatic cats, the ideal nickname would be: Craig, Donald, Lord, Baxter, Irving, Lonley. It is very difficult to meet phlegmatic people among the Scottish breed. These cats are very inquisitive and always follow the owner's heels, be it the bathroom or the cooking process. Kittens will climb everywhere, which can cause a lot of trouble.

Cats, like cats, also love to preen themselves and tidy up their fur after each stroke of the owner. Such cat dandies can have names: Major, Leonardo, Prince, Apollo, Malory, Sir, Elton, Beautik.

Kittens that are overly active, who love to walk along the eaves and discover new horizons for themselves, grab guests by the heels and manage to play even while eating, will look harmonious with the following names:

Archibald is a true brave man;
Gavin is a hawk;
Finley is a warrior;
Markas – formidable;
Knox – dweller at the peak;
Louis is a famous warrior;
Cuddy – famous;
Kaden – fighting;
Ruisert is the strongest.

Such nicknames very well emphasize the character and behavioral habits of the pet.
