    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.

    I usually call him by criminal terms. Ganger, crook, thief, robber, vandal and such.

    Absolutely, among other names. She’s usually Margot, sometimes Meemers, Marmar, or Margalos, and sometimes she’s Stop Screaming.

    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

    My cat is named Loki, and it suits him perfectly cause he’s a bit of a fuckhead🤣

    He only answers to “Mr. Kitty,” and you have to say it like “Meeewster Kitty” or he will completely ignore you.

    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.
