Talk:Мурзик

RFC discussion: February 2013
"affectionate name for cats". Does it mean that it refers only to cats in the plural, or an affectionate name for a cat, which in English I guess would be. Also it was moved from to  as a proper noun. It seems to me, without knowing any Russian, that it can't be both a proper noun and an affectionate name for a cat, it has to be one or the other.

 * I assume it's like "Fido": an affectionate name for any stereotypical cat. - -sche (discuss) 18:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It appears to be usually capitalized on Google Books. —Angr 21:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm, will have to think about this one and fix later. Thanks. Мурзик is a common nickname for a cat, so it's capitalised and is a proper noun. It can also be an affectionate name for a cat, usually male, киска (kíska) (pussy, kitty) is another one but more common, usually female but can be male as well. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I think, the affectionate name can be both lower and upper case but will have to check. Will probably leave as lower case only. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:44, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
