Choosing a Name for a Ragdoll Cat
There are different approaches to finding a great name for a cat. And this is one-hundred-percent valid because cats have multi-facet personalities with some features dominant over the others.
When it comes to Ragdolls, they are medium-sized to large cats. Ragdoll is the most famous long-haired cat breed. With soft, fluffy and shiny fur, colour points, pointed ears and blue eyes(which is the common characteristic of all ragdolls).
If you talk about them, they are one of the most affectionate, friendly and easy-to-manage cat breeds. She likes to get regular petting sessions from her owner. They love to cuddle and often curl the owner’s arms.
Major Approaches That Cat Parents Follow to Name a Cat
#1 Approach: Naming a Ragdoll on the Basis of Her Coat Colour
The first and one of the most common approaches among the cat parents is naming a cat based on her coat’s colour. The same goes for ragdolls. As you know there are different colour ragdoll cats so we have a range of wonderful cat names for her.
#2 Approach: Naming a Ragdoll Cat Based on her Soft and Fluffy Coat
The second approach is like the first. The difference is, here instead of focussing on the coat’s colour cat parents take her soft, shiny and fluffy cost into consideration and name their cat accordingly. Here also we have a long list that you can choose a name for your ragdoll.
#3 Approach: Naming a Ragdoll on the Basis of Her Adorable and Calm Personality
Quite often cat parents name their cat on the basis of her personality. Ragdolls are cute, loving, always around their owners and like to cuddle.
All these qualities open the door for several cat names that compliment her personality.
#4 Approach: Naming a Ragdoll Cat on the Basis of Her Blue Eyes
This approach is my favourite. I really love those blue eyes and I’m pretty sure you can also die for them. Many people don’t know this and even if you knew it’s always better to remember that all purebred ragdolls have blue eyes.
So, a lot of people get obsessed with their blue eyes that prefer to name her on its basis ignoring the other features.
#5 Approach: Giving a Cute Name to Ragdoll
The final approach is, naming a ragdoll on the basis of cuteness. It’s a different and one of the most famous approaches. Here, pet owners don’t care about the meaning of the name, all they care about is how that sounds.
