How to pick a name your cat will actually respond to
Cats tend to respond best to short names of one or two syllables, ideally ending in a sharp vowel sound like "-ee" or "-ie". Say it out loud a few times, and make sure it does not sound like a common command or the name of another pet in the house. Give it a week with treats and a happy voice before you decide it is not working.
