Male Cat Names & Boy Kitten Names

Naming a male cat is a very significant process, because this is the way the owner gives an identity to its pet. The unique thing about naming of a male cat is that it helps create a relationship between the owner and the pet, which is simply beautiful. It is a fact that a beautiful name can make the owner proud of his pet for a very long time.

The most amazing thing about naming of a male kitten is that the owner is free to use his creative imagination. as much as he desires. Hence, it is very true that the name of the cat the owner chooses helps to reflect the personality not only of the cat, but also that of the owner. Many a time the pets have some sort of story associated with them that can really help the owner choose a name, for the male cat. These stories help to trigger words in the mind of the owner, and can really assist in producing the future name. For instance, if your cat is a stray male cat, then words like Tramp or Slugger trigger in the mind.

Many people tend to choose names for male cats that match with the way the pet looks. For instance, a black cat can be named Blackie, or a male cat with stripes on the coat can be named Stripy. However, it is better to name the cat according to its color, rather than its size. This is important because a kitten named Tiny or Teeny will soon grow into a big male cat. However, a cat named according to its color will sound more appropriate regardless of the age.

Many people, who are very influenced by certain celebrities, also end up naming their most beloved pets the same. Names of kings, queens, presidential associations, rock stars, movie artist and even cartoon characters such as Garfield make excellent naming options, for many people. It is however very important to give such a name to your male cat that you are comfortable using in any situation and on a daily basis.

These names have equally good meanings.

When you are choosing a name for your kitten, you are basically searching for a name that actually fits your pet. At times other people have a downbeat reaction to a kitten’s name, mostly because of all the old wives tales about cats. If you are not bothered by such things then go ahead and name your kitten even Specter, provided the name fits the look and personality of your kitten.

There are many categories of boy kitten names. There are almost 359,000 results on the web search. You can search by breed, origin as in what country the name originated in and so on. When a site displays boy kitten names from a variety of countries it will also provide the origin and the meaning of the name. Some sites also have the option to let you rate the names. There are even sites in the web where you can answer questions which will help to pick out a name.

There are also sites which let you vote whether you think the name is suitable for the kitten or not.  Other things to bear in mind while picking up a boy kitten name are: color, long or short haired, and size.

Before choosing a name for your kitten; try to get to know him a little. What sort of personality does he have? Although this may not bother you, but a grown cat name might not be suitable for your kitten. Make a list of the names you have in mind. Some people think that names beyond two syllables are long. Generally it is suggested that if you want your kitten to recognize the name, a shorter one is better. For example instead of calling your kitten King Mighty Cat u could call him Mighty. The name is shorter, easy to say and easier for the kitten to remember.

Apart from the kitten if you have other pets then keep in mind that the new name for the boy kitten isn’t similar to any other pet at home. Similar names will create distress for you and confusion for the pets. Moreover some people suggest that cats know when they are being made fun of that’s why don’t pick a name that might lead to ridicule for the kitten.

Furthermore don’t name your kitten that might cause your family to embarrass in front of other people. You also need to keep in mind that a very cute and cuddly name may be too cute for the male members of the family to be comfortable in using. Names like: Chase, Champ, Alex, Alibi, and Romeo are liked by everyone and easier for the kitten to remember too.

Kittens can be easily trained to learn their name by constant repetition though some take a bit longer to catch their name. The best time to repeat his name is when you are playing with him, feeding him or petting. Appreciate him with a reward when he answers to his name.

Slowly and gradually the kitten will learn his name. Avoid using his name when angry or even screaming. Try to associate his name with good experiences then he will respond by running to you.
