Names for gray kittens

Gray can be associated with gloom or boredom – but not when it comes to mischievous kittens. Your gray fluffy ball will still have time to turn into an elegant and noble cat – but for now, he needs to find a worthy name.

How NOT to name a kitten

To prevent your pet from rejecting your favorite name, follow these rules:

• Don’t go for length Of course, Gaius Julius Caesar sounds more interesting than just Gaius or Yulik. But in everyday life, the “front” version will certainly be reduced – so that it is easier for the owner to pronounce it, and for the pet it is easier to perceive. The ideal cat name should have two, maximum three syllables.
• Don’t hiss The hissing sounds “sh”, “u”, “zh”, “h” in their name can be perceived by the kitten as aggressive. However, they can be balanced by whistling “z”, “s” or “ts”, as well as purring “m” and “r”. And most importantly, pronounce the name of the pet in a calm and affectionate tone.
• Do not hurry Before deciding on a name, watch the kitten for a few days. Then try a few options – and leave this important choice to the pet itself. The nickname to which the kitten begins to respond should not be changed later without good reason.

And for cats with a strong inner core, choose names stylus or Graphite.

Gray Scottish Fold may become the personification of the nation with the nickname Whiskey, and a silver-blue cat of this breed can be called Silver. Whereas the gray Brit is just made for the name London or Albion – with a reference not only to the place of origin, but also to the color of the foggy sky. By the same “weather” association, a cat can be given a name Peter.

A gray tabby or gray-white kitten can appreciate the names Domino, Raccoon, Yin-Yang or Oreo.

And don’t forget eye color! In gray cats, it stands out beautifully against the background of wool, which means that such “colored” names as Indigo, Sapphire, Topaz, Amberb.
