Catriona the Cat

This morning, a cousin contacted me about her new furry cat. She was asking what name is suitable. Since I do not have enough time to think and said, "You can call her Catriona."

I find her beautiful like Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray. Well, she agreed and thanked me for helping her. How do you find names for your pets? Do you need to ask someone or somebody else to suggest names?

I would choose the name myself, keeping in mind which kind of names cat would recognize as they like the sound.

I think I need to consider this since some cats ignore me when being called.

@Shavkat Cats ignore long names that sound weird to their hears. My mother in law had two cats, the names were Nadir and Murli, they loved their names. The cat of my neighbor replies to his short name "Bubi" and the other too "Gevy".

I think that cats recognise your *voice*. They don't care for names. Try calling them with a different name. I'm sure they'll react in the same way.

My cat names are from strange names, and not from people's names (It Just pop-up in my mind).

I am sure they are unique names. How many whiskers do you have?

I name my pets according to their personality usually.

I also do the same thing. With this cat, I just based on what I see physically.

I think it is good to names that are not that complicated. The lost cat that I had named Shadow because of its pure black color.

I also do the same thing with my pets. Sometimes I based on their behaviors or personalities.

I name my cats and most of the time they're pretty weird. Like Bubu, Bobo, Bibi and Kiki for the new kittens. Catriona is pretty. She can be more famous than the Miss Universe.

Those are unique names. I suddenly wanted to name my own cat Bimbi. I will do it if I have one again.

I think it depends on the pet. Some cats for example, are easy to name while others take a while. Except for my cat, Precious, my husband named all our cats. Okay, well someone else named Mama... but we kept it so as not to confuse her.

It seems your husband is good at naming whiskers. Honestly, I only had one cat in my life as a pet. I named him Shadow. It is a perfect name based on its black fur.

Last year my neighbours gave me two cats. They are noble, their family-tree goes back to Noah's ark. They have long names beginning with the letter 'M'. This indicates from which litter they come. As cats don't listen to names anyway - they either deign to come to you when you call them or not - I decided to call them Willy (he) and Lilly (she) so that people understand which cat I'm talking about.

I agree with you. It was also my sentiment with my lost cat before. He never looks back or comes when being called. But still, I named him Shadow because of his black fur.

We named our own cats but all the pet sheep we've had have come with names.

I haven't had a sheep. But I would love to name them simply.

The names we have chosen over the years just pop into our heads as we enjoy the first day with the new critter.

I can feel you with the naming of pets. As for me, I do the same thing. Whatever runs into my mind's first name, then it will be used.
