If you have or have lived with any cat, you know that he does not respond to stimuli and commands the same as dogs.
That's why, even if you call him by his name, or by some nickname, he might just ignore you. But does that mean he doesn't know his own name?

Even if he does not respond in the desired way, and does not meet the expectations of the tutors, a cat does know his name! And this is confirmed through studies carried out in Japan, with cats of all types, races, colors and ages.
The research asked the tutors to speak four nouns that refer to the name of the animals with intervals of 15 seconds, and, lastly, they should say the real names. In the end, it was found that kittens can understand what their own name is.
But is it possible to completely tame cats?
Currently, contact and interaction between cats and humans has increased and improved! At the beginning of this contact, according to historians, the animals began to approach humans when the grains began to be stored and, consequently, several rats began to to appear.
How cats are hunters of these others animals, humans came to worship – and adopt! – the kittens. Thus, over time, from animals that spent the entire night away from home, they became closer and closer.
Humans began to get attached and, like dogs, to want to educate them. Even if it is more difficult – after all, cats only respond to calls when they want to – it is not impossible!
Several animals recognize the most common everyday words, such as "daddy" or "food", for example, and respond with meows or when approaching the tutors.
choose easy names
According to experts, some cats understand simple and short words better - that are similar to their range of hearing. Therefore, words ending in “i” or “y” are more acute and easier to assimilate.
However, don't put aside your kitty's personality, okay? They are beings full of love and affection to give, and their names must be handpicked, to represent them very well!
To help the association, whenever you call him by his name, try to play with him or give him a treat he likes.
