What Is The Best Way To Pick A Name?

What's the best way to determine if your cat's name is the right one?

Here are some tips that we've learned after years of helping new cat owners pick the perfect name:

1. The pronunciation of some names is challenging every day, even when they look good on paper. Be sure the name is something you'll be able to say often once the cat joins your family.

2. Is it right for your cat? Before settling on a name for your cat, be sure that it matches his personality and appearance.

3. Say it aloud. Using this name for your cat, can you imagine what it would sound like? If not, it is not a best choice. Change your mind and choose something else.
