Frequently Asked Questions

Is it OK to use a bold name for a girl cat?

Absolutely! Bold names like Athena, Xena, Rogue, or Valkyrie are wonderful for female cats with a confident streak. A name's power reflects character, not gender.

Does the inflection when calling a cat's name matter?

Very much so! Cats respond best to a high-pitched inflection. Maintaining a steady tone when saying their name improves recognition gradually.

Can teach a cat to run to you by calling their name?

Sure! It needs more time than with canines, but pairing favorite snacks whenever they respond works. Eventually, your cat will connect the word with a positive treat.

What qualities should I keep in mind when naming my American Wirehair?

Each American Wirehair has their own character, but the breed is generally recognized for particular characteristics. Spend time with your cat for a while prior to committing — the ideal name often becomes obvious organically.
