We've separated some different ideas for you here at PeritoAnimal, who knows, you might not find one mystic name for your cat that suits him?
The Mystical Origin of Cats
Did you know that in Ancient Egypt cats were also known as “Miw”? This nickname came about because of the sound the animal makes with its mouth, but it ended up starting a curious belief: it turns out that miw means to see and so the Egyptians came to believe that cats had the ability to see beyond what human eyes can grasp, something like a spiritual sixth sense.
Maybe that's where the idea of that pussies are able to detect negative energies in people and places, cleaning up and making the environment positive again. If you'd like to learn more about this mystical side of your feline's personality, you might like our article on the mysticism of cats.
The animal's nocturnal habits and its agility, added to a great auditory and olfactory memory also helped to create this mysterious fame around cats. There are even those who believe that cats clear negative energy. During the Middle Ages, these characteristics were related to magic, and it was believed that witches could change into cats. Because of this, pussies were frowned upon for quite some time, but luckily, these days they have become one of the most common and cute pets out there.

Tips for taking care of your cat
After choosing your pussy's name, remember to prepare the house to receive it, so he will feel more comfortable and your relationship has more chances to take off right at the beginning.
If your new friend is going to spend a lot of time alone, make toys available to keep them busy. Balls with bells are great for getting you to exercise, as well as pique your curiosity, for example.
Always remember to create a comfortable environment for your new kitten, where he can be alone and rest away from human eyes, as they too need some privacy.
