What are you going to call your feline? Don't you know yet? The truth is that choosing a name is complicated: there are so many! But if you like Japan (or something about this country, be it culture, history, gastronomy and / or something else), You can put some of the names for cats in Japanese that we will tell you below.
We do not promise that it will be easy to choose one, but it will be very helpful to know which are the most recommended for their easy pronunciation 😉.

How to make a cat learn its name?
Once you have chosen the name, touch the other complicated part: getting the cat to learn it. How do you do that? Well from experience it is best to be very patient, as it will take some more time than others to learn.
In addition, it is important that we take advantage of every good and positive opportunity to speak your name. We should never use it when we are angry and / or tense, since otherwise we will get him to associate it with something negative.
So that everything goes well, what I do and that up to now has helped me a lot is:
- Pronounce the name in a cheerful tone of voice.
- Show (and offer) cat treats or cans, or petting if there is no food around while I'm calling and right after.
After a few repetitions, the furry responds well to the call. Try it 😉.
