They were curious to know if a cat could understand its name and tell the difference between that specific name and any other word that sounds like it.

It seems like whether or not you should keep your cat indoors has been an ongoing debate among cat owners since cats and humans started to live together.

Cats don’t really keep humans company during walks just like dogs do, but if you have the time and patience to get your cat to take walks with you, it can be a very beneficial activity for both of you. We are perfectly aware of all the health benefits of walks for humans, but pretty much the same is also true for your feline companions as well! As you probably know, many humane societies and animal advisers aren’t really supportive of the idea of cats being allowed to come and go as they please, so taking a cat out on a walk is the best way for them to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors in a safe way. Outdoors cats are at a greater risk of illness and injury compared to indoor cats, so if you don’t have a secure enclosure, walking them on a leash is a much safer option.

We usually let our children name the pet of the house though, and their vocabulary can be kind of limited, to be perfectly honest. They usually want to give weird names to their pets, so maybe cliche names are actually better than those!
