When choosing a name for your kitten, it’s advisable to pick one that is easy to pronounce. Multi-syllable names work well as they are easier for your pet to hear and recognize. Another tip is to make sure to avoid names which sound like commands – “Flo” sounds like “No,” for instance, and could easily confuse your cat!
