Then why do people name their cats?

Disdain is still a response.

Charles responds to his name! (Hey, one out of 6 ain't bad)

Kippers!

I'd say less than half of my cats know their name but they all know the clicking food call!

Jose. Or Manuel.

It's all part of my superiority complex. :cool:

And if it's female... Hedda Hopper!

True, but are showing disdain at their name, or the fact that the servants dare speak to them?

But Charles is not your typical cat.

One of our cats (Rufio) LOVES to be outside (keeping him strictly indoors was never an option). At the end of the night, if he is not in, I go looking for him.

Not only does he respond when I call his name, he walks home with me. I do not need to pick him up or anything, he just scoots along side me as I walk home and in the door.

I love that cat!

Nala and Maleficent both respond to their names all the time.

Magick will respond to any name.

And Emmy... just ignores everything you call her.
