1. Yes! My cat Dusty absolutely knows his name and comes when called. I've had too many heated conversations with skeptical dog-people about this.
2. I love that there is research being done at cat cafes.

Researchers wanted to know whether cats can understand their names when compared to similar-sounding words.

The verdict? Yes, your cat *does* recognize its name. (So it's probably ignoring you on purpose.) https://t.co/7LQFV4omCu
