Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

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.
