2 month old kitten is scared of toys?

I'e had cats before, but not this young.

We just adopted him today and he is 2 months old. We've had him for about 5 hours.

We bought a little dangly toy for him, with some feather things on it, but he is scared to death of it.

I was dragging it along the floor and he saw it and freaked out and ran under his blanket.

He's totally fine with everything else, it's just the dangly toy that he seems to be scared to death of.

Is this normal? Is it simply because it's a new environment?

Its strange how thier minds work. I have 2 month old kitten that hates teddy bears. Any other stuffed animal is fine but she will hiss and attack any teddy bear. (Weird) Cats don't like things that are unknown. Get it something small like a mouse and place it in your hand. Very discretly stroke its back with it. After about two minutes let it sniff it. Then place the mouse near him. On his own he will investigate the toy and realize it already has his sent. (So he must of played with it, Right. Wink)

Depending on whether the toy you got makes a jingle noise or the size of it. Can make this process harder. But it can be done.

Whether you are naming a bruised, ear chewed ex-tomcat off the street or the cutest little kitten, they both need a name they can be proud of.

So how do you choose good male cat names?

Let me tell you a story... Once upon a time a couple out for an evening walk heard a plaintive cry. High in a tree they discovered the smallest of kittens. Incredibly the kitten came down and over time became a most loved house cat. The story? This cat was blessed with a very special name, Quercus. Why Quercus? Because he was found within the branches of a noble oak tree, and the oak's Latin name is Quercus.

What has this to do with you and your naming quest? Think back. Let your imagination track back in time. Ask yourself if your boy cat or kitten might have a trigger word that could produce his future name. Did he walk in off the street? Tramp. Is he a street fighter? Slugger. Does he keep running up trees? Monkey. Did he do anything funny when you first got him? Guzzler or Guzzy for short.

Fresh out of inspiration or creativity for great boy cat names? Go for the looks.

It's almost embarrassing to admit but a big black tough cat that limped in off the street is now called Black Boy. Or, more poetically on his vet papers, Garcon Noir. Admittedly a more original name could have been found, but Black Boy he is, and will remain. Don't know if I'll ever live it down but another tiny kitten of mine with stripes grew up to be called - Stripey.

Still nothing?

Go for more color based cat names then! A marmalade cat could be called Cornflakes. A black cat male cat name could be Topper (slang for the top hat perhaps). Need a white cat name? Check out words from the frozen north - Blizzard or Igloo, for example, or perhaps town, country or ski resort names - Aspen, Telluride or Zermatt - that are synonymous with snow. Your cat's a bit of both? Tux, perhaps, or Zebra (if somehow you've ended up with a striped cat!)

How about famous male cat names? Borrow a name from a celebrity or famous person - or even cat.

Colette had many cats through her life, for a name with an exotic French ring Muscat and Petiteu could be considered, but there are so many more. Presidential association? Then Socks might suit. More? King, Prince and Rocky perhaps. And if you have a ginger cat who wants to be famous, there's always... Garfield.

What about a cute male cat name? Puffin, Pumpkin and Sooty all sound adorable.

For lovers of witchy tales and of things that go bump in the night, you can come up with amazing other-worldly names: why not Bat, Spook, Merlin or Druid for your mystical new cat?

You might think some of these names are just too fussy or even over the top, so you'll want something a bit more popular. In Britain, Chester has a certain gravitas, Skipper and Smudge sound down to earth enough. All were voted highly popular. In the US? Harley and Max perhaps.

I wish you well in your search for the best male cat names, go on make his day! give him a name to be proud of!
