A thoroughbred British cat has a very impressive appearance. Strong bones, solid build, luxurious plush coat and attentive gaze of amber eyes - such a cat deserves a name that will match her beauty. Choose a nickname that suits you and suits the cat itself - it is possible that she has her own opinion on this matter.
What suits the cat
When choosing a name for a thoroughbred cat, you need to take into account its pedigree. The name of the animal should contain the first letters or syllables from the names of the parents, and sometimes even more distant titled ancestors. Often the name of the cattery is included in the list of names. The breeder will tell you the exact information, he may even offer several suitable options. However, nothing prevents the titled beast from coming up with a home name and calling the arrogant Schellicat Russita Lilly-Tilly simply Lily in everyday life.
The name for the cat should be sonorous and not too long. Felinologists believe that cats like the repetition of the same syllables and the abundance of vowels. Therefore, nicknames like Mimi, Sissy, Nina, Fifin and so on are quite suitable. It is desirable that the nicknames are not consonant with the names of children and other pets. Cats perceive only a few familiar letter combinations; if they match, they will get confused.
Consider the peculiarities of the color, appearance and character of the kitten. Thoroughbred Britons are sold already grown up, so you can immediately understand whether your pet will be a domestic tyrant or a quiet one. Accordingly, the kitten can be called Sonya or Regina, Damien or Angel. A very simple approach is a nickname by color. Silver cat can be called Silver, snow-white - Snowball, coal-black - Black. Consider nicknames popular in English-speaking countries - they will emphasize the foreign origin of the breed. For the British, simple names like Fluffy, Puff, Fairey, Magic are suitable. Names with the prefix "mister", "lady" or "miss" are also popular - such solid nicknames are quite suitable for large phlegmatic cats.
Looking for inspiration
Interesting names can be found in fiction. Think of your favorite characters or just colorful characters from books. Flint, Soames, Jane, Bonnie, Carrie - not only first names, but also surnames are suitable for nicknames. Interesting ideas can also be found in films - blockbusters or film classics. Well-known personalities are also suitable - for example, a luxurious cat can be called Churchill, and an elegant cat - Godiva.
A good way that owners of breeding farms often use is to choose a nickname from a dictionary. Thus, you can find a suitable word for a given letter - this is especially true for cats with a pedigree. After picking up several suitable options, discuss them with your family and choose a name that will appeal to everyone. Offer it to the cat as well. If the pet is interested in an unusual combination of letters, the nickname will probably suit her.
