Naming Your New Kitten

• It is important to select your kitten's name right away
• It does not matter what name you choose, as long as it is dignified and respectful
• It is best to name them a one or two syllable call name and perhaps a longer more meaningful name on registration papers
• Pets learn one syllable names better and respond best to them
• Kneel down, hold out a food tidbit or commercial treat and call the kitten to you by his name
• As he sniffs it, say his name and then something very affectionate
• If you do this often enough, he or she will learn their name very quickly, and will always associate it with something rewarding, even it is just a scratch behind the ear for responding
• This is also a good way of teaching him to come to you when called by his name
