    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.

    Cheddar Biscuit has a lot of nicknames. Mr Biscuit. Lord Cheddington von Biscuit shorts. Little Baby Biscuit Boy. Master Biscuits. Cheds. Little Lad. Just a guy. Simply a fella.

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

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

    He’s deaf.

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

    Miso gets called ‘Miso’, but also ‘Mimis’, ‘Mrs. So’, ‘Jennifer Mimiston’, ‘Miso the Lioma’, and ‘Mi’.

    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

    I call my cat by his name, “buddy”, or just “cat” sometimes.

    Never “my son”
    Ever

    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.

    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.

      Ah my first can was named Minh, thanks for the memory. She was a sweetheart which sounds…different from your Minh.

        She can be sweet, and I’m totally the spare human, but she is very standoffish and does everything on her terms.

    Monty is “the boy”, “little man”, or “mun bruv”.

    Okie is “little miss”.
