Choosing Your Unique Cat Name
When it comes to choosing a unique name for any pet there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Usually a name that reflects the personality of your pet is how I pick a name. Some pets will just look a certain way and be given a name that suits.
I know it can be difficult but that doesn’t mean it has to be. If your breed of cat is from a specific region of the world perhaps giving it a local name is a good idea.
For example, if you have a Siamese cat think about calling him or her Chanarong, it means Warrior a great unique unisex name.
