Do any of you actually call your cats by their names? (lemmy.world)

I always call mine "bro" or "my son". Rarely do I ever actually say his name lol.

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
