Cats purrfectly know their feline friends' names, Japanese study says

Your cat may not seem to be listening to you, but it's now believed that they recognize the names of their feline friends, and maybe your name as well, according to a recent study by Japanese researchers. Dogs have been known to follow human speech to some degree, but it had not been scientifically clear whether cats have a grasp of human languages.
