1. I do know my girl knows the word tuna.

All I have to say is "Tuna", her eyes go wide, she looks at me with anticipation and then she walks over to her dish and cries until I deliver the tuna.

Pretty sure she doesn't know her real name. In the course of a single day she will be called by a variety of names; Sweetie, Sweetie Pie, Pumpkin, Baby, Hey you, Spunky. Her real name is Baby Girl.

4. Substitute "chocolate" for "tuna"

and that sounds very much like my dear wife.

2. Well...

Fucker and Little Shithead always knew to whom I was speaking.

3. When I call their names followed by "out"

They both head to the back door for a nightly jaunt in the backyard.
Both in at 930 when I call them again

5. My sister and I were watching an old musical and a song's refrain included the word "baby."

Her cat, Baby, who was snoozing, sat up and looked around, confused. Who was saying her name? There were clearly only two people in the room and it wasn't them. It was pretty funny.

6. Cat companions around the world say "DUH"

Seriously.

7. Every cat has three names.

The name you give it.

The name other cats know it by.

The name like Puss and Kitty that you and other cats call it.

8. I read this article earlier

and was rolling. Yeah, cats know their names, but they may or may not respond. I just found it so funny, because we know how smart cats are, they just decide whether to engage and interact when they feel like it.
