Yeah, i always call her by her name, gusfraba, krampu’s little helper

Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Baby / BB

Ours is usually baby boy, horrible beast, buddy, or nutty buddy. If it’s his actual name, it’s usually because I’m gasping it out and scolding him for doing something naughty.

Only by her name Luigi, so she’ll learn it. That way I KNOW she’s ignoring me.

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

Sometimes. Other times just called him by nicknames like mate or dickhead. Depending on what he did.

I call my cat Sydney by a few names. Mr kitty, Mr meow, or buddy.

But in will call him by his name every once in a while.

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”.

Yes, having multiple cats, they clearly understand their name.

Almost everyday, but mostly a shorthand or a handful of nicknames.

Oh yes. I call them by their names and they know their names.

Nope, he gets called Meow Meows or Kitties.

Yes. All the time. She doesn’t care but I still call her.

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.
