How to name a Bengal cat?

Finally, a dream has come true, and a cute little Bengal kitten has appeared in your house. The animal has a passport, but you don't like the name. Can I rename my four-legged friend? After all, one does not want to call the animal by an unsuitable name for many years. The answer to this question and recommendations for choosing a name for a cat are given below.

Society owes the emergence of the Bengal breed to the American Jean Mill. In 1961, Jean went on a business trip to Bangkok. The indigenous inhabitants of those places - wild cats - were on the verge of extinction. Animal skins were highly prized, and poaching flourished. Adult cats were killed, kittens were sold to tourists. The girl bought a kitten and brought it home.

The kitten has matured, turned into a beautiful cat. However, it was impossible to call her home, in the full sense of the word. The animal did not perceive caress, it did not go to contact. Jill set out to create a breed that combines the beauty and grace of wild animals with the affection and playfulness of domestic cats. After many years of crossing and culling, wonderful individuals, called Bengal, have turned out.

Representatives of the Bengal breed are distinguished from domestic cats, first of all, by their unusual color. On the soft, dense, shiny coat, dark spots of rich chocolate or black are pronounced. Strong skeleton slightly stretched in length. The front legs are somewhat shorter than the hind legs. Cats stand out for their muscularity.

To call a Bengal cat Vaska, Murzik or Barsik is to offend an elite breed.Here are 3 basic rules to follow when choosing a kitten's nickname. The first rule is determined by professional breeders. Pedigree cats born in catteries from famous parents are assigned complex names. Nursery specialists are guided by the approved principles. So, all kittens of the same litter should be given names starting with a single letter.

In the passport issued to the kitten, a name that is too long is indicated, from which you can find out information:

• about the names of parents and grandparents:
• about the name of the cattery.

The second rule is ease of pronunciation... An elite cat deserves a majestic name, but pretentiousness leads to difficulty in pronunciation. Does it make sense to assign a beautiful nickname, if in everyday life you have to be content with its abbreviated version? Probably not. It is better to immediately pick up one that both sounds beautiful and is easy to pronounce.

The third rule applies to the cat itself. He must definitely like the name. Choose some interesting nicknames and try them on your pet. Repeat each name and watch the kitten's reaction. From the reaction of the animal, it will become clear what he likes best. Give preference to the nickname chosen by its bearer.

When the name given at birth seems unsuitable for the owner, a new one is chosen. First, take a close look at your pet. What's the most interesting about it? What does he like to do? Name the cat so that the name emphasizes its most important features.

A nickname is ideal for a spotted pet. Leo... Often, noble cats are called human names. Like great royalty, cats become Carlis, Charles or Richards... Felinologists use nicknames with a certain meaning. For example, Nickname Willie means friend, and Trust means reliable. Agate is kind and Tiger is brave. Gentle is affectionate, Clave is smart, and Warmee is a mischievous person.

Perhaps names will suit your affectionate cat. Matt or Marty, Buff or Boston... American names prevail in memory of the breed's origin. Patriots can call their favorites with familiar names: Boris, Klim, Max, Mark, Lev.
