Choosing A Cat Name
Welcoming a baby into a home comes with the
joy and responsibility of naming the new addition – of forever
assigning a label by which the world will refer to him. When it comes
to our pets, the responsibility can feel just as important. Choosing
names for our pets is a time-honored family tradition whereby we gather
together to weigh in on the choice, basing a name on our pet’s very
special personality. Choosing a cat name can be exceptionally difficult
as cats come with their own subtle personalities that can initially be
hard to identify.
Of course, for those of us who had cats in our homes as we were
growing up, picking a cat name can be a bit easier; perhaps there’s a
special cat that will forever hold a place in your heart after whom you
wish to name your new cat. Perhaps there’s a name you’ve always admired
but works best when paired with a unique cat; perhaps there’s a
distinctive family name that is traditionally passed down to your pets
or a name that’s meaning is something special for you; and, of course,
there is always the consideration for particular names popular in
different cultures.
Then of course there is a cat name that describes the look of your
cat – a white cat, a fat cat, a small cat, etc; a cat name that relates
the gender of your cat; or a cat name that describes the personality of
your cat – whether friendly, funny, shy, etc. It may take a while to
discover just what that personality is, especially if you are bringing
home a kitten. It is totally appropriate to wait until you get to know
your new cat before choosing a name that best fits him/her.
These days, the Internet can be the greatest resource for finding
the perfect cat name. You can take a casual browse through the names or
look for something specific. Take the time to find the cat name that
best reflects the personality of both you and your pet – it’ll be with
you a lifetime!
