My cat looked plumpy when he/she was born, so I named her Plumpy. She's not so fat any more, should the name?

Question

She's tiny, looks like a Korat, (grey cat with silver tipped fur) and she/he is soooo lovable! Do you have any names?

P.S. I don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet!

Answer 1

Hi there...cats are fine with name changes so long as you continue to be consistent with associating the new name with something pleasant such as meal time or play time. They then will learn the name quickly.

Here's how to determine which gender your cat is:

Answer 2

We have nicknames for ours but kept the original name, besides it may get plump again and then you may want to go back to plumpy. If you want to change it I don't see a problem, but since you are unsure of the sex of the cat find out and go from there with a name.

Answer 3

We constantly change our cats names. I would say they have 3-7 nicknames + their 1-2 main names. It doesn't matter what we call them they know when we are talking to them.

Answer 4

U do not need to change its name just bcoz its not fat anymore. If u still want to change its name then, how about "meow"?

Answer 5

if she's grown into that name, you can change it to something that sounds similar and she won't know the difference. (we got a poodle one time, it's name was "No Toes", so we changed it to something better, "Toto.")

if kitty doesn't know it's name, you can pick whatever you want!

Answer 6

keep the name, if the cat has learned it, or else it wont listen
