    Two of mine definitely know their names, because they come when called. But the third one… she’s now seven years old and I only conclusively determined that she knows her name a few months ago, after noticing that her ears twitch when I call her. Being the most stereotypical of my cats, however, the only sound that will actually summon her is the sound of a tin of tuna opening.

      The ears are a good indicator. One of mine will thump her tail when I call her name. Whump, whump, whump. That’s if she doesn’t come running when I call. The other times, she’s happy to come over and get lots of love.
