Mrs CMATs parents had 7 cats when I met her in the mid 1980s.
Starsky, Hutch, Pebbles, Lucky, Wonky, one more I can't remember, and the last one was Rambo. They were all strays. Rambo was namd that because he was a tough facker. He would sit in the kitchen by the cat flap, and if a strange cat came in he wouldn't touch it unless it went to a food bowl, then all hell would break loose.

Around 1990 I got Mrs CMAT a fairly expensive life sized Leopard toy (still got it, in excellent condition, he 'lives' in the dining room) not the crap ones you see in Sunday markets. She put it in front of the fire in the living room. Every cat that came in took one look and ran out again.
Not Rambo, he sniffed it a few times, walked round it, then curled up next to it. One by one the other cats came back in, but never sat anywhere near it.

Not sure if that's a joke (that I don't get) or you remember me posting about it. 

That was my sisters cat, back in the mid-1970s.
Enormous abcess on it's face but as it was old and giving it no pain she told the vet to leave it alone.
Its head virtually exploded.
The cat was black, and my sister had black hair, so she got nicknamed
'Winnie Witch' and that name has stuck to this day.

Not true I'm afraid. Most cats respond their names in the same way that dogs do.

Even when there's a group of them lying around, call just one of them by name and it will come to you while the others stay put.

true. at one time i had 3 cats with similar names,
they all knew their names. even when i varied them a bit they still knew who i meant.
By:

When: 24 May 14 11:42
how do you mean varying them a bit? So if one was called Richard, you'd call him Rick and he'd know you meant him?

yep. one was smurf but i often changed to to smurfy, smurfette, smurferella, murph, murphy and the embarrasing favourite babymurf!

nice one. the only time I've ever had multiple cats is when mine had kittens, so didn't know that.

Our cat , who took up residence in our garden after being abandoned is now called Katniss after the heroine of the Hunger Games trilogy.

it depends if they like you too. one of em i upset once just by shouting at her when she brought a bird in and was torturing it. after that she didnt wanna know. just came in for food then pissed off. cats can get the face on and treat you like scum. a bit like women i suppose.

Growing up we always had a cat but my Mum wasn't fond of them much but had them to keep mice away. Consequently most of them were called Puss, although she did find one abandoned near bins at a nearby Borstal and called that one Boris.  "Here comes Boris from the Borstal" she'd say.
