YOGYAKARTA Adopting a cat, makes the atmosphere at home more cheerful. After adopting it, maybe you think you'd better give him a name. Because by naming, family members at home can interact with funny anabuls.

According to pet behavior expert Mikel Delgado as reported by Rover, Wednesday, February 22, there are tips for choosing and naming a good and funny cat. Here's how to name a cat that reflects your quality and creativity.

Each race has its own characters. But in principle, they have the same habits from all cat families. It doesn't mean you can choose just any name, it's getting closer to the character that you will build a good relationship with them.

"When we develop relationships with everyone in our lives, people or pets, names help us identify and connect with them," said Delgado. That is, choose the name that suits the character. Whether they are funny, angry, or have a jutek face, this can inspire you to give them a name.

Research shows cats respond to higher tones and better tone variations. So consider names that are easily pronounced in high notes so that anabule can easily respond when you call his name.

In addition, cats tend to respond to shorter words. This is because short messages are clearer and simpler. Therefore, they will process words or sounds that try to attract their attention. Well, if you've given anabul a long name, give a shorter nickname consistently.

Cats can learn to recognize human voices over time. Cats also recognize their names if introduced in certain ways. Like by giving him treatment after he responded to your nickname.

Giving the cat name may not go fast. Since cats are known for their independence and self-sufficiency, it is sometimes very difficult to determine whether they have recognized their name or not. However, you can train it consistently in the same way.

A cat can recognize its name quite well as long as its owner is consistent with the way they call it. That is, too many nicknames can cause confusion. So start with a simple order, such as Come, Tory. You can also use a consistent sound, such as ring a bell.

Apart from being voiced, you can include hand movements such as gently holding out. The key, according to Delgado, is to associate orders with bribes. Put the order when you spend the food bag, and finally, the sound of the order will make the cat come when called.

Even if you are free to name a cat according to its character, experts advise against choosing a name that implies danger. Similar to naming a dog, you can choose the human name for a cat. In 2019, the most popular cat names include Jack, Max, Lola, Zoe, Charlie, and Milo.
