I can independently confirm. My cats definitely know their names, and their ears will perk up when called. But most of the time they can't be bothered to turn their heads towards the sound, there's no chance they'll get up to engage unless they hear a treat bag crinkle with it lol

Cats, like demons, have many names only one of which is their true name to which they obbey without question.

Curiously cat's true names usually sound a lot like a treat bag cringle or the sound of a cat food can being opened.
