Hello everyone!
I am seriously thinking about getting a little kitten. I want to adopt one which will like me the most! And which one I'll like too!
The only thing is I need some help on HOW TO name my new best friend? I have to admit that I am from Russia and long time ago I had a cat back there, and of course his name was Russian, so now I'd like you to help me with some examples! I know I have to see cat before I'll name it, but I just HAVE NO IDEA from which name to select!
I really really hope you could help me!

Puerto Rico... land of rice and beans.
Hi! Welcome, I guarantee you, this is a very confortable place to relax.

My main suggestion is this: feel free to use a russian name with him, even if you are on the far side of the moon, as long as you and kitty like the name. That's what matters. And you don't have to admit it, like if it was a sin to be Russian, on the contrary, it's a good thing!


But, anyway, I suggest you don't worry so much about it yet. Worry about the kitten. Who knows, maybe the name will be on how you find him!


Good luck!

Thank you for welcoming! Ectually I was looking into ANY kind's of names- it doesn't have to be Russian, it just have to sound nice!
I am just so confused, really, and so afraid that my little kitty will live long long time without beeing named!
I already have a list of things I am going to buy and DO for my new-coming family member, so I just wanted to also get some info about names too. And I want to be prepeared and ready to make his( or her
)life as much happy as I can!

Why not use a Russian name? It would be different (though you'll find quite a few here). There are lots of Web sites with suggestions (you can "Google" cats AND names), but generally speaking, a two-syllable name ending in a vowel is often recommended. I abbreviate our cat's name as JC, but his name is actually "Jamie Cat", i.e., Jamie. He seems to respond best to anything ending in a vowel sound, e.g., "Sweetie", "Super Kitty", "Pussy Cat", "Baby".
Hope you enjoy The Cat Site!

I can attest that adopting 2 kittens..especially if you have to be away for a long period of time, is a really great idea. I was only going to adopt 1 kitten when someone told me that it would be better if I got 2:

It's not that much more food or litter and they can be best friends while you are away.

Good Luck with your kitten.

Oh, my! Yes, I've read so many articles about adopting two kittens at once, so they can have fun together when I am not home! The only problem with this is MY BOYFRIEND! We live together and desighn about getting a cat was mine. Well he did not really mind about ONE kitty..but two...he might say NO!
And I had just a little bit of expirience with cats anyways, so I am kind a afraid....
Thank you for a great link!

I lived with my boyfriend too and I let him pick out and name the second kitten.
That way..we each had our very own kitten.

hello Leeka! Welcome to the board! I named my two kitties based on what is it the easiest to call them for my mom... she can't speak english so she started calling my kitties meow meow and boy boy.. so that became their names...
meow meow used to be called piglet anyway.... i attest to the fact that you should get two kitties.. they find much company with each other...they get into trouble together though..hehehe.. twice the joy, double the trouble!

Everybody seem to like pushing me in this life!
OF COURSE two kittens would be wonderfull...or even maybe three??? I just got an e-mail from a local shelter, saying that they have three kittens- two orange males and one black and white female- I have to go and look at them...and what will happen if I will like all of them?????
- it's me and this is
my boyfriend...see, I think guys are not so intended to annimals as girls...besides- mine just love fish!!!! He used to have a huge tank before we movied in USA...So, anyways, I'll keep ya 'll informed about my new coming and name and everything...I hope as soon as I'll see kitty- I'll know for sure- I WANT HIM HOME! I hope somehow he'll tell me- take me with you! i'll be your best friend forever!!! Another thing that might happen in shelter- I'll se an oldest cat that I'll adore..then I'll take two!
I found a great site with huge collection of different names- most of all I liked Italian, Spanish, Indian and African's cats' names....I'll let you know later which one more suitable for my kitten..This is so weird- I have not even seen a little one, but it seem I already know him and he is a part of my life...Got to stop now..But have a question- What should I do with my computer..I have so many wires....
thanx
