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.

My cats name is Chanelle, but I rarely call her that. Her nickname is kitty cat ribs the 2nd, but I usually call her either kitty or ribs. Back story behind the nickname is my best friend had a cat when we were kids, and when he'd annoy him he'd threaten to cook him up like a rack of baby back ribs, so we started calling him kitty cat ribs.
