Re: Do Cats Respond to Their Name Being Called?
Hee. Before we brought Elvee home, Belle was super duper affectionate and always cooed back when I called her name. The first few days she knew she had to share my room with Elvee, Belle would roll her eyes or jeling when I called out her name.  But when my mom 'borrowed' Elvee, Belle will meow her heart out calling for Elvee and scratch the door. She wouldn't even eat if Elvee isn't there to eat with her.
I always nagged, if you wanna take Elvee you must take Belle as well. xD

Re: Do Cats Respond to Their Name Being Called?
How could I missed this very interesting "benang"?
I know what FK means by cats recognising and responding to our voice (or noise) .... hehehe, there's this stray "meow kung" that I feed everyday, would come running from houses away the moment he hears my hubby's RUSA VAN. Plus, he speaks to me, I talk, he "meow", talk some more, he "meow" more, I have a feeling the neighbours think I am mad cat woman ...
I also believe that cats do know their names! For example, my GARLIC responds to Ah-Lic, Lic-Lic and Garlic .... she comes to us and "meows". Lulu knows her name too! Beckham Ginger Boy even better, when we call out for Beckham Boy, he goes hiding under the bed and it is so funny when he runs, buttock facing us with his little bobtail. Best of all, he hides only half of his body (other half with his cute bobtail exposed), thinking that if he can't see us, we can't see him too....
Love them all ....

Re: Do Cats Respond to Their Name Being Called?
Just Wanna Share somethings, I used to have domestic cat where I could call him from 50 meter and he will just come back to me even at outdoor or a foreign place. But I realize that the tone has to be correct. Example I call him SHAWN SHAWN. so If i call him shawn he will not response. Any cute things is that my 1st MCO his name is Funky. and he do response well with his name, when ever you call FUNKY he will look at you and sometimes come to you. But the Cute things is that if you call MONKEY he will come also ehehehe....
So it has to be the tone...

Never mind, June, nanti your office open opis kat KK, you can balik and buy big, big house there for less $$, complete with big tanah and compound and get a maid to clean poo/pee for RM100!
And there all your kids can have all the fun of their life climbing trees, swoop at birds, chasing lizards, squirrels, etc.

Re: Do Cats Respond to Their Name Being Called?
When I 1st brought back Sherbet, he didn't have any name.. and doesn't respond to the name we gave him..so.. I google up.. then try call his name while looking at his eyes... and then train him to know his name..by holding kibble / food in my hand..hide it behind me..and call his name.. Of course at 1st he will come because of the food.. after a few days .. he respond to his name.
Now, whenever I can't see him.. just call out "Sherbet... Sheerrrbeeet".. he will come out from wherever his hiding place (usually under my bed)..and come to my feet.. rubbing his body n then roll over.
Whenever he did bad things, just call his name in really sharp tone.. he will stop whatever he do and look at me. Stare at him ..n he will flee like a maniac.
Salem is easier .. just call out and he will come. Although I think he can't differentiate voice tone yet.. So..have to pick him up whenever he's venturing into dangerous place.. .

In animal training, they will tell you NEVER to mention the animal's name when he does something which is not allowed and never scold the animal mentioning his name.
Just say "No!" firmly/sharply.
Animal brains work by associating things, and his name must not be associated with something negative.

Wah, Ken, haven't 'seen' you in ages....how's Barbie Doll??
Is Funky Takao's litter? That's so cute, answering to Monkey, too. Poor thing. If he only knew what a monkey is.... Maybe I should teach him the word Monkey so he understands....

Yan,
I'm afraid I have to agree with FK here. Do not let an animal associate its name with something negative. It will learn to run away the next time you call its name. I just shout "oooi" at Blackie when he climbed up onto my toilet seat and munched on the plants up there. In fact, now, the minute I see him doing it and he knows I'm in the bathroom, he'll just jump off and flee. He knows he shouldn't do that without my having to say even a word anymore.

Furkids,

Ok Answer to your 1st Question, Barbie doll got a new Boy Friend call Blaine, FYI I dump her coz she spend too much money on her outfit every 6 month......
2nd Question, Funky is a PURE HIKARU GENJI Litter with Cendrillion, there is no TAKAO blood in him... I am sure you will get a SUPER GLUE from TAKAO kids not funky type Coz he is the most Cheeky MCO in my house. Coz Hikaru will most produce very CHEEKY boys.... and I have to intention to call him monkey and how i find out is that when i am talking to my wife about this Squirrel Monkey and Pig Tail Monkey, I see Funky keep to coming to me and i say again monkey, Well i was holding some nice nugget at the time and that is his favorite, then I know he response to the word MONKEY coz he think i call him.. to come and makan the nugget. So I try again 2 days later.... and he still response to word MONKEY...

Re: Do Cats Respond to Their Name Being Called?
Awwwh, poor Ken, it must have cost you a fortune to dump Barbie Doll.....Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture, Ken's computer.... AND......a keychain with Ken's balls in it...!!!!!!!!  (That's why it's the most expensive, at USD265.95 while others are only USD19.95.)
Oh dear, that must have hurt like hell, Ken.....
Hmmmm....so Funky litter is cheeky and not gluey, eh? Will it spray like Hiraku? Poor Hiraku, he must be feeling stressed at having so many male top guns in the house, I guess he needed to mark his territory.
Hahaha, I like the name "Monkey".

Hmmm... only worth USD 265.95... So little ah... I am mesmerize with that figure hahahahah ..
Funky didn't spray like HIKARU but maybe he was neuter early doesn't have a chance to learn that hehehe....Well but he is very CHEEKY and also realistic ,when he haven't got his CAN FOOD or Beef/Chicken Meal he will be Gluey, and i am not joking he will keep on turning circle between your legs and used his head to rub you legs... But once you give him what he want. Then he won't come to you until the next morning or unless you have nuggets on your hand hehehe...
