    Yes, he knows his name and he comes running.

    He also knows the dogs name, and the dog knows his name. Can’t possibly miss out on any treats the other one might be getting.

    I call my cat by his name (and sing songs with his name substituted into the lyrics) all the time.

    He’s deaf.

    When she’s in trouble. So most of the time. Otherwise instead of Moonbeam it’s missy-moo, cat, moo-moo, missy, miss kitty, or monster.

    Only Elliot because he knows his name and runs over when you call him. Sometimes he goes by “not my cat” when I’m looking for my cat and he shows up. (He is my partner’s cat)

    Sully knows her name but dgaf and only reacts when she’s in trouble and I bring out the big guns (Sullivan). She’s usually just “my little girl” or “my little angel” otherwise.

    No I don’t have a favourite why do you ask

    Yes, all the time. One reacts to it like a dog would react to their name, and will even move toward you to see why they were called. The other one never really reacts different, just facing them and making a noise gives the same reaction., name or no name.

    I frequently add ‘cat’ to the name, so Zola becomes Zolacat, Dora is DoraCat and Bella is BellaCat or the BellaMonster

    Kahn gets boy cat, Kahn coy Kahn, and kitten

    Minh gets kitten and spiteful bitch. She hates everyone and makes sure that dogs and cats alike always have food and water with her judgmental Meow and death stare. Don’t you dare touch her though.

    Booker gets yelled at a lot so he very much knows his name well. He also knows Book or BookBookBookBook.

    Hollow on the other hand does get called by his name, but he couldn’t care less. They both do get called several nicknames as well.
