In French, how would you introduce a pet (like an animal)?

[Wong]

To introduce a person, you might say "Il s'appelle (name)," for example, "Il s'appelle Maurice." This would translate as "he calls himself Maurice," and the equivalent in English would be "His name is Maurice."
For animals such as family pets, though, would it be the same? Since animals aren't considered to give each other names, would it be more along the lines of "Voila mon chat. Je s'appelle Zidane" for "This is my cat. I call him Zidane." You know, because it would be ME who calls the cat Zidane, not the cat himself. Or, would it still be "Voila mon chat. IL s'appelle Zidane?"

Je vous présente mon chat il s'appelle + (The name).

 

[Alisha]

oui, Vous allez présenter vos cat comme ceci - "c'est mon chat. Je donne la parole lui Zidane " parce que vous êtes introduisant votre cat. Le chat est ne présentant pas lui-même à quiconque.

yes, you will introduce your cat like this - "This is my cat. I call him Zidane " because you are introducing your cat. The cat is not introducing himself to anyone.

We introduce them like people: "il s'appelle Zidane" or "son nom est Zidane".

Voici mon chat. Sa nom est Zidane.
Here is my cat. His name is Zidane.

Hope this helps
