An unrelated anecdote that comes to mind.
My eldest daughter lived with me when her son was a wee little tyke. I called him baby more often than I used his actual name. Considering he was with me while his mom worked, I think he and I spent more time with each other than he did with his mom So, He thought it was his name for the first 2 - 3 years of his life. He would say โBaby need thatโ when he wanted something. I have 8 grandbabies now and he is still my favorite. Shhh, I love them all equally. ๐
I vote for Baby! Itโs purrfect.
It has been my experience that if a cat is going to answer it will answer to anything and if it's not it won't. So try saying names to cats and see if it shows interest in any. Names that end with e sound like benny,lily,Jerry etc seem to work best when calling kitty.
I have two black cats right now and they will come running from another room when I call their name. And yes, they do know who I am calling. They play fetch too, so maybe they have an earwig bit of canine. ๐
I was going to say Fuzz. It will be a fun name because you can say that she is the fuzz and create lore about how she polices the house for snacks and that she reserves the right to frisk her family without warning.
This girl brought a kitten home to my old apartment. I had a roommate and this was his girlfriend. She thought it was a girl and HIM kitty. By the time my gf figured out unequivocally that he was a male it was too late to change his name. He was the first in a house that would soon have three cats. It was really tough for them and us when we told them. It really screwed everybody up. When we adopted another cat from a non-profit on Craigslist they wanted him fixed before we brought a female into the house that was also to be fixed and they suggested we change his name to "Kenny". We said no, his name will stay Kitty.
Look under its tail. Two little balls =boy. Two little holes =girl. If you still can't work it out, give it a non gender specific name: Sammy, Coco, Bailey, Catamaran etc.
Aaron for boy, Erin for girl. The good thing is they can be pronounced alike or at least you can easily transition, so once you have established gender, the kitty is already set.
Opie! We named my kitty this when we didnโt know what she was! Originally we were actually told she was a boy, months later we took her to the vet for a check up and found out she was a girl! Luckily this name seems pretty unisex to me! Good luck coming up with a name for your sweet little one! He or she is precious๐ฉท
I have a kitten i named it Mia as the person i got it from said it was female, as he, yes he grew i noticed 2 round ball shapes near his bottom, i picked him up to look closer & yes she is a boy, i changed his name from Mia to mian as he answered to Mia. Mind you i still call him Mia at time's. Think of a name that ca be changed from female to male or male to female after you've established its sex. A vet would possibly know. Good luck. X
