    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    He’s deaf.

    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.

    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
