    I think Dave has realised he is called Dave. I called him the other day and he turned round and miaowed at me! I thought maybe coincidence and called him again…..he turned round and miaowed at me again! I tried different tones of voice, different volumes and every time he responded!! I must admit though, after about ten times he did start ignoring me……can’t think why??? Hopefully he likes his name… it does suit him.

    Lol, he prob figured that you had no clue why you were calling him! Its good that he is turning around when you call him.

    “Dave? Dave’s not here, man”. Sorry, DM but I just had to quote that Cheech and Chong line. Google it if you’re not familiar with it.

    DM, it’s a bit of both, Dave does know his name but he is also humouring you by replying every time you call his name. When you leave the room he will roll over onto his back and LOL. Cats!

    That is so true, Kitty will stand and stare at me with this tail switching back and forth just because sometimes…..usually after I have raised my voice at him for being a butthead.

    Hee hee, well how would you react if a close family member called your name ten times and then never actually said anything?

    Of course he knows his name. You can tell when a kitty knows their name — they answer you and/or come running, usually for food. When they don’t know their name they either never come at all or they come whenever you yell anything — usually someone else’s name. Millie knows she is Millie. Libs knows she is Libs. Jasper didn’t know for a long time, many years, but I think he’s finally worked out what his name is. No one said he was Einstein, lol.

    Jcat, if it’s true a kitty knows their name and will come running for food then I must rename Roxy to Treat Bag since she cries everytime I reach for that particular cupboard door! Haha

    What a smart guy. He may even be a smart enough to be a little worried about his mommy…calling his name over and over like that.

    Duchess and Gabriel use their names interchangeably. When I call one, the other comes running. Usually Gabriel will come whenever I call Mr. DG. He thinks I’m always calling for him.

    I just realised what a nutter I must have looked the other day. Good job it was just me and Dave in the flat…..think Daves dad would have had me carted off to the funny farm!! We had a pet hamster before we got Dave and called her Phoebe (after character from Charmed) and she used to come out of her little house every time you called her name.

    Tee hee…Crockey always has responded to his name. He also responds to “Go Sit Down” every time I open the door & he still wants to go out!
