Often owners will give the cat a name to welcome the arrival of a new member of the family. However, most cats are not as obedient as dogs, and can remember their names after training a few times. So, how to train a cat to remember their names? It is actually very simple!

To make a pet cat remember its name better, the first thing to do is to give it a loud and short name. Although cats are very sensitive to sound, their names cannot be too long, and two syllables are the best. And the clearer and louder the name is, it makes it easier for cats to remember their names.

Training is essential for cats to remember their names. You can usually take advantage of opportunities such as feeding and games to call the cat's name, so that the cat can connect the name with all the pleasant things. And it allows it to clearly distinguish the length, strength and weakness of the name sound. Let it form a conditioned reflex to the pronunciation of the name.

To let the cat remember their names, the training must be repeated. From the first day of the cat entering the house, targeted name training is required. At the same time, you should often call the cat's name in daily life, talk to it, and call the cat's name in a targeted manner when feeding and having fun, so that it can remember its name faster.
