List of funny and beautiful names for Scottish cat

One of the most common cat breeds is Scottish. Representatives of this species have gained their popularity due to their incredibly cute appearance, docile and positive nature. One of the tasks that a person faces after acquiring an animal is choosing a name for his pet. In this article, we will consider the possible options for nicknames that are the best fit for a boy-cat of the Scottish breed.

To choose the right kitten and a name for him, you need to know a little about the breed itself. There is a theory that the first kittens were brought to Scotland from China in the 19th century. This theory has no substantial evidence. However, the first mentions of the representatives of this breed really date back to the 19th century. At that time, all representatives of the species were straight-eared, the variety of the Fold Scots appeared quite recently.

In 1961, kittens with pinned ears were born in the Scottish village of Copeur Angus.... The breed quickly gained popularity among professional breeders. Today the Scottish Fold kitten can be bought on any continent.

Starting this cute creature at home, a person acquires a lot of pleasant impressions and a good mood. Cats are completely non-aggressive and amenable to training. If the owner is absent, then they easily find something to do. Scots are not prone to high activity and rarely spoil furniture or curtains. Such a pet will easily get along with children.

The Scottish cat breed is divided into two varieties: fold (fold) and straight (stride). In turn, each variety includes long-haired and short-haired representatives.

A healthy thoroughbred kitten should have the following characteristics and parameters:

• rather thick and velvety coat;

• short neck, hidden by wool;
• the muzzle is slightly flattened;
• a moderately wide nose with a slight hump, noticeable in profile;
• powerful, not very long legs;
• big cute eyes;
• the physique is dense, the muscles are well developed;
• ears are a distinctive feature of this breed, they are widely spaced (in kittens, 2-3 fingers of an adult fit between them, and in adults - 3-5 fingers);
• long-haired representatives of the breed have a kind of wool collar on the neck;
• the tail is rather long and very flexible, it is wider at the base, there is a fleece at the tip, the hair at the base of the tail is thicker.

This breed has over 25 shades of coat color. Here are the most common ones:

To choose the right name for your pet, you need follow a few simple rules.

• The name should be easy to pronounce for the owner. If a person stumbles constantly, the kitten will simply not remember its name.
• It shouldn't be very long so that the animal can easily remember the combination of sounds.
• You need to choose a name, given that the pet will grow up. Diminutive nicknames may be inappropriate for adults.
• You can only name a pet once. It will be very difficult to rename it, since it will already have time to get used to the first name.
• So that the kitten gets used to it as quickly as possible to your new name, you need to refer to your pet by name more often.
• In the first few days it is very important to address a kitten with a positive intonation in his voice. Animals are very sensitive to negative emotions of their owners.

Often a nickname is chosen from whatever comes to mind first. But if nothing suitable is remembered, then there are several tricks that will allow you to come up with an interesting nickname for your pet.

• Since the Scottish breed is bred mainly by breeders, when a kitten is sold, it already has a name. It fits into the passport. However, such names are usually very long and inconvenient. An excellent version of the name would be an abbreviation for the nickname that is recorded in the passport. Interestingly, breeders give a kitten a name based on the first two letters of the nicknames of its parents (or the name of the cattery).
• Look for inspiration in your favorite books. For example, you can borrow the name from the main character of J.K. Rowling's books - Harry.
• Cinema Is an inexhaustible source of names, so you can give a feline the name of your favorite movie character.
• It is also worth contacting your pet's homeland. The nickname can be based on an abbreviation for cities, nationalities or natural objects of Scotland.
• Pay attention to the nature of your pet. In general, the representatives of this breed have a docile and friendly disposition.
• If some funny story happened to your pet, then you can come up with a nickname based on this incident from life.
