If you are about to adopt a cat and need a name, there is an almost infinite choice. This can make things a little tricky when trying to find the perfect moniker for your cat.

Unique short names for male and female cats
The choice of a short name is essential to make the learning process easier for your new cat. Ideally choose a name containing one, two or three syllables composed of a single word.

In this way, we can help the cat recognize when they are being addressed and even used this to train them for different tasks.
