Whatever your cat's name and nicknames are, they will understand and recognize that those are the monikers you've given them. It's part of the abilities of domesticated cats.

Cats are natural hunters. They are hardwired to pay close attention to their surroundings.

Throughout mankind's whole history with cats, we've given them the task to be more self-reliant. They don't need us to achieve success in their endeavors (hunting mice is one example).

Since they are also social animals with complex emotions, they can gather information through us. In fact, studies have shown that cats tend to focus on unique items and have positive feelings when their owners share the same emotion.

They may not have an apparent body language like dogs do, but they do pay attention to us. Cats are able to recognize their names when humans use them with activities that catch their attention.

For example, by calling out their name when serving them meals in schedule, they will eventually learn that you're summoning them. Unfortunately for one Reddit user, he said a certain phrase too much that the cat eventually recognized it as her name.

A user by the name of Elvesareop shared his and his cat's story on the TIFU (today I fucked up) subreddit. According to him, his cat was so noisy that he ended up saying "Shut up" a lot.

According to the owner, Luna, their cat is so noisy.

To add insult to injury, the cat owner's friend thought that he was being told to shut up. But the truth is that the original poster was just calling the cat.

Luna, the cat who thinks that Shut Up is her name.

Redditors started talking about what name they ended up with.

Some also ended up with really long names.

Apparently, other redditors can relate to the original poster's situation.

A user found another name that sounds like the name their cat ended up recognizing.

Thus, Douchebag became Mr. Duchess. Perhaps Luna's owner can do the same, as suggested by the other commenter.

It seems that cats and people named Luna have a noisy personality.

And then apparently there's a dog named Sit. Poor dog.

Then there are also a cats named Shitty Kitty.

Oh no...

We wonder if he still lives up to his name.

We're also wondering why.

Just a cat owner with two super talkative cats.

Even the adorable cats can be overly vocal too.

She does, doesn't she?

This cat owner learned his lesson from another person's experience.

That's scary indeed!

We also have DAMMIT DOG.

It's funny how this situation is apparently not unique.

Our pets can annoy the hell out of us sometimes. And in those situations, we tend to overuse expressions to stop their mischief.

Unfortunately, by saying those phrases all the time, our beloved pets can mistake it for their names. You've seen it in the posts we've shared today.

If you have a pet, then it's probably best to not use the same phrase over and over again to stop their bad behavior. Otherwise, your pet will end up recognizing that as their name.
