Origin of Real African Cat Names

Cats in Africa just like dogs are regarded as domestic animals. They live with humans and most of them eat what man eats as part of their meal apart from other living creature they kill and eat. Most African countries derive their cat names based on their language being related to lion. It should be noted that cat resembles lion in all round nature and characters. In Nigeria, cat name is derived from the fact that lion is regarded as the mother of all cats due to its nature and this is why cat names are called in local languages attached to lion. Some also gave name according to the sound that cat makes whenever it is angry or during when it might be resisting an attack.
