      Yes, call them by their names all the time, but also use a lot of nicknames, like stinky/stinkies when they’ve done their business but left the crime scene partially uncovered.

      Also use putty or puttyputty a lot lately.

    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, 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 ex fiancee named my last cat Mittens, but I pretty much always just called her “Kitty”. She responded to it, but I always kinda got the impression she responded to me in particular over whatever I called her.

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

    I mostly call mine by her name, but sometimes she’s Lil Stinky Butt, sometimes Miss Ma’am (especially when she’s in trouble), lately she’s been Freebird because she keeps trying to get out the doggy door with the puppies. Edit: In the time since I’ve posted this, she’s also gone by Honey Buns and Little Miss.

    We have two cat, both female, and neither goes by their registered name.

    One was mine from before I moved in with my partner. Her actual name is masculine and uncapitalized. But we only use that name for vet visits, and to differentiate her from our other cat. Otherwise, she is just Kitty, or “Wow,” after the sound she typically makes.

    The other cat we adopted together, and has a female name that is properly capitalized. We normally call her one of dozens of nicknames, though most of those are derived from her name and not just random terms of endearment.

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

    He’s deaf.

    Ada was always Ada or little girl.

    Manuel is more “Little man” or “manny boo” or “shutthefuckupIhavetoworksoyoucaneat”
