Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Baby / BB
I call my cat by his name. Not his full name, just the first name unless he's being formally introduced or in a lot of trouble.
mostly... Gadget becomes Gadg or Gadgeypoo, Nova becomes Nova beans.
My cat knows his name. Best part is, he'll respond if I talk to him.
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.
My cats only come running when they hear the other cat's name get called. They only respond to FOMO.
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.
We have options :3

I usually just shonen anime fight scene scream 'caaaAAAaaat' from accross the room to get their attention.
Sometimes. Usually I do a lengthier riff on it.
I have 2, Link and Phoebe.
I'll do a "Linky Link" and "BB Phoebe" (as in baby) because I refuse to acknowledge that she's not still a baby.
I call my cat by his name (and sing songs with his name substituted into the lyrics) all the time.
He’s deaf.
Yes, having multiple cats, they clearly understand their name.
I usually call him by criminal terms. Gangster, 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.
I have many names for them, though, only one it's the official name. Nevertheless, I call them by their nicknames, which are numerous.
Miso gets called 'Miso', but also 'Mimis', 'Mrs. So', 'Jennifer Mimiston', 'Miso the Lioma', and 'Mi'.
I call the cat that shits on my floors any of the below
Both Mimi and her son Zigou respond to their names. Orange Zigou is not the brightest, so I value and use the fact the he did learn his own name.
Mittens certainly thinks her name is "Pss pss pss"
Harley was a 7 year old we brought home from the shelter, and she already knew her name so we didn't have a lot of latitude to change it on the fly.
However, she did respond just as well to "Barley", so that became her new name, with the standard variety of variants like "Barles" (said like "Charles"), "Barlow" or "Barlikins".
Barlikins 😂
My Pyrenees is my big baby. My Yorkie is my little man. My orange cat is "fat bad." My other pets have names that are too fun, not to say. I got "bucket." She's a tabby named bucket. I got "meow san" because her automatic feeder came from Japan, and it had an audio feature that said, "meow-san. "Monkey" is meow-sans sister. My partner picked that name. Hearing her call her name makes me HAVE to call her monkey. They're both too sweet.
Dude, I think we have over 30 cats. It's a farm, though. (Not the owner)
Edit: "Hey butthole"
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.
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
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.
One of my cats chose her name, so we only address her by that. If we're getting fancy we'll append onto it, but never totally different names. We also have two brothers, one has many nicknames, but we still call him by his name about half the time. The other we call by his name most of the time.
I think you know the question that no doubt is on everyone's mind ;)
cat tax?
How cat choose own name?
So when she first showed up some other people in my house called her "Bristles" and I was like oh no, not that. I compiled a list of names and just would try addressing her by a name off the list a few times a day. She was napping when I got to her name, but I said it and she lifted her head, looked at me and did that little mrrr? so it's her name.
Nice. Might try that next time I get a cat.
It worked out well for us. She clearly responds to her name; even if it is just to shut her eyes tighter when she wants to ignore us.
Omg this is such an adorable idea!!!
Sometimes, but usually I have nickmames for them, so Maggie is Maggs, Maggles, Magalicious, Maggalopolis, Maggapotamous, and my favorite name for her, Mama Bear.
Nope, he gets called Meow Meows or Kitties.
Cthulhu gets called whatever name we currently feel she deserves - Lady Meowington, Catthulhu, Catto, Little Miss Muggins. We would only use her actual name to call her/scold her for being naughty
I call my cat by his name, "buddy", or just "cat" sometimes.
Never "my son"
Ever
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.
Yes, I absolutely do address her by her proper name, but only when I’m addressing her in song.
One of mine is officially Sparkles, but he get called Floofy Doofkins, Sparkle Bear, Spark, Lazy Lion, Lounging Lion, Shitty Kitty, and Pretty Kitty.
He knows all of them.
His sister is Ember, but we call her Tiny Tiger too. She responds to neither 😂
When we had several, I tended to use the name only to distinguish them; otherwise, they were all simply "cat".
I try to use their names daily. They know them, but generally dont care lol.
One of them responds to dumby and dingus as if they were his names tho. Jus lyk me fr ig
Nope. I rarely call Trouble by her full name but Princess Peanut Trouble Sparkle knows when she fucked up. Her sister has a name but shows up to "Honey". Their older brother has only ever used "Dmitri" at the vet and is "hey old man" at home.
