Do any of you actually call your cats by their names? (lemmy.world)

I always call mine "bro" or "my son". Rarely do I ever actually say his name lol.

I don't think I've ever called a cat by its name. Depending on what they're doing it's either "hey", "pspsps", or snapping fingers. I don't think the cats care either. But names are useful when talking to other humans like "Muffin picked a fight with Potato yesterday. Potato won"
