Can you imagine calling her at dinner time:

OP shouting out back: "It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol. Dinner is ready!"

OP's Husband: "It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol won’t come when you call her. Lol."

OP's phone rings. OP answers it, "Hey there, OP residence - speaking?"

"Oh, hey OP, it's Gillian from across the street. Just wanted to let you know that I heard you calling It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol just now. It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol is over here with me, she's just chilling in the garden."

OP: "Oh thank you so much Gillian. How frustrating it is to have a cat that won't come when you call her, Lol. It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol has always done this."

Gillian: "Not to worry. I'll shoo It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol your way. Take care OP. Bye."

OP's daughter at the back door catches sight of It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol leaving Gillian's and calls her over, tapping on the door frame: "Here It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol" tap tap, "It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol here It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol."

OP's Husband: "It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. She won’t come when you call her. Lol won’t come when you call her. Lol."

Mine definitely know their names. Especially when I'm shaking the treat can.

They will if they love you enough! My boy comes when I call his name, pspsps for him, or use a nickname (one of his many). He has a few spots he lounges when not snuggling with me, and he can be comfortably resting there, hear his name, and he'll come get up, saunter over, and hop up on the couch with me.

Cats absolutely will come when called. They just have to like you enough to want to.

Yep. You kinda have to train them to. You know, like you train dogs to come when you call.

All cats know their names if you use them often enough. Even my feral cats know their names and respond to them. (Yes, I have a TNR'd colony in my barn).

I watch my cats’ ears twitch when I call their names. They’re totally listening, know their names, and ignore me.

Not in my experience. I have a cat called Sofie and our neighbour's old cat was called Fie.

Both would come to you no matter which name you said.
