Advice on Naming Your Cat
If you are going to choose a ‘Fifi Trixibelle’ type name for
your pet, try to make sure that the name can be shortened,
preferably to no longer than two syllables. A shorter name
is also easier for the pet to learn
If you have other pets in the house, try to have a distinctive
sounding name for your new pet
Also remember that a tiny kitten sleeping in your hands may
grow up to be a large cat and you may like the idea of your
large adult cat being called ‘Tiny’
If you have named your new pet after a dear departed pet,
don’t expect the animal to become an identical one to it.
If you want to be creative with your name, then be creative.
The naming of a cat is nothing like naming a child. If you
call the cat ‘Twinkle Toes’ you will not cause him any
psychological difficulties and as far as I am aware, the
other cats in the area will not make fun of the cat because
of the name.

We've all seen pictures of kittens playing with a ball of yarn or a string. While most cats do enjoy chasing a string, strings should never be left with your cat unattended. They can be ingested, becoming lodged in the intestines, causing an intestinal obstruction.
