Cat names that get your cat's attention - what should I name my cat? 

I just called my cat “lancyy!” And she appeared out of nowhere. Her name is Ming.

He’s a very noble cat *proceeds to just grab and squash the face of said noble cat*

"Look at that regal bearing." Indeed. 10/10 would knight.

"This is Lancelot. He mercilessly defended me and my staff on several occasions, but anyway..."

Doctor: "Lancy!" Lancelot looks up. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"

How funny, I'm in my late 40's and I remember when I was a child my mother told me to always give a cat a name with an "E" sound at the end. And looks like she was right. Yay mom!

You can’t just bring up Lancelot defending the clinic staff and not elaborate on it

my cat's name is Super Heavy DeathMetal , I wonder if that's why he's wearing black fur and not listening to me

i want to hear the story of lancelot defending the clinic lol

SQUISH THAT CAT !

Lancelot is an absolute unit.

Forget school, THIS is the knowledge we need.

My cat's name is "Dog" to confuse him.

My only advice is to name it something that you don’t mind wandering down the street yelling loudly at six PM on Tuesday when it gets out.

Lancelot kept being like "what do you want, dude?"

This guy is so chill.

I've called my cat "Freshly-opened-can-of-sardines" because that's what catches his attention best.

Lancelot is an excellent demonstration assistant. Top notch kitty.

Does this guy not just look like the most genuinely kind person on the planet or

1:33 Doctor: LANCIII! Lancelot: (turns and looks at him) How dare you

This vet has just the sweetest face and way of talking about cats. The sort of place I would take my perfectly healthy cat for checkups if I were in the mood to get married

Squish, of course.

Proof that you should use baby voice when talking to your cat

My cat always comes over to me when I whistle. It's adorable because you can hear the little "pap pap pap" her feet make on the wood floor.

I literally give my cat name Yuri. Sorry doc.

"Look at how regal this cat is," as you proceed to squish his face Love the videos!

I'm neither Canadian nor a pet owner and I have no business being here but I think I'm in love

Every cat will have at least a half dozen names anyway, of course :)

Ok i got it, Django Hitler 3000 is definitely not a good name to catch the cat attention.

0:39 the face that would melt Guinevere's heart

Sir, you got my cat's attention (and he tried to discard this comment with his paw)

I just meow at my cat when I want to get her attention. Works pretty well. I named her Bastet, if anyone's wondering.

@1:35 Cat: wtf happened to your voice Vet: See! I told you they respond to high pitch !

LANCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Lol my cat is named Bast and she loves it. I tried changing her name to keke and she smacked me in the face with her paw 😅

its so precious when he looks up at you!

When he called Lancelot “Lancy”, he’s just like “whaTCHU WANT”

That is one chill cat

Why does this guy look like the male version of Lily from Princess Diaries

this is why "kitty" works generically.

Could you maybe do a video on why not to get kittens at 8 weeks old. I volunteer in a shelter and we get so many kittens from overwhelmed owners who wanted them when they were still tiny but couldn’t deal with the responsibility of it all. I often try to explain that a kitten learns social skills around her mom, she learns how hard is okay to bite, how crazy it is okay to play, cause mom has a natural way of punishing her without traumatizing her. So taking her out of that environment to early could cause Damage. We get cats that are so disturbed and have the weirdest relationships with humans. You can tell they need more attention and they are so demanding at getting it, they get frustrated very quickly and have abandonment issues. My cats was a baby when we rescued her and she was always a little special, I love her but I also know how to properly entertain her and keep her busy so she doesn’t develop aggressive tendencies. Makes me sick to my stomach people buy tiny baby cats and are so irresponsible, they either don’t have a companion cat or get frustrated when the kitten is well... a kitten. Maybe you should also talk about the benefits of adopting. We have beautiful loving cats waiting for a home that aren’t given a chance because people look for babies they don’t know how to take care of. Or think well cats are independent and don’t really need much attention

Creamy and cookie are good names then thanks hehe

This man is the most wholesome person on the entire internet.

Changing my cat's name from Laurel to Yanny.

Loved when Lancelot's ears got tugged, and he didn't even bat an eye. Such a chill cat.

This man is like the vet-Bob ross

Cat names are cool and all but it makes me kind of sad knowing that my cat will never be able to pronounce it or introduce herself to other cats. Or I'm just over thinking cat language.

I wanna marry this man

I adopted a stray cat who was abandoned by her owner. I started feeding her as she was starving and just called her hey girl to call her. She's been with me now 8 years and she is still called hey girl the name just stuck 💕💖💕 I love her so much she's just one big sweetheart 💖😺💕

I love seeing you interact with the cats because you are so gentle with them. I would trust you if I was a cat.

Your joy at being around cats is so lovely to watch

I think you're just trying to promote Uri as a good cat name. Sneaky!

I swear this is the sweetest guy on this planet.

My cats actual name is Oliver but I never call him Oliver I call him Ollie. This makes so much sense 😮

This is literally my stress relief video

Lancelot’s face when it was grabbed: “Yis. Am very noble cat. Look at my noble face.”

0:35 *Um, Storytime with Dr. Uri?* I have noticed this with my dogs too. I made the effort to name most of them things that end in "E."

The cat looked at him not because of the high pitch, but because he thought "Hooman, has you just freakin' called me Lancee?! No ones call me Lancee and getz away with it!"

Majestic af

Lancelot is such an expressive cat! The way he looks up at you is so endearing. He’s just like “Yeah? You called me?”

handsome. regal

You can also let your cat choose the name they prefer. Put together a list of names u like, then several times a day call out each name to the cat & see which name attracts attention. Do this for a few days, paying attention to any name the cat responds to even if it's not an overwhelming response. I had no trouble choosing names for my two cats, a sister & brother who were about 7 weeks old. I made a list of about ten names, called out each name for a few days, & each kitten paid attention to one particular name each. They paid no attention to the other names, but when hearing the right one each kitten looked at me each time i said the name. By the way, these two cats always responded to their names by looking at me, acknowledging that they'd heard me. One of them would usually come to me if i called him to, the other sometimes came when called but almost always acknowledged it by looking up. They always seemed to be more responsive to their names than other cats I've known. Maybe combine this technique & the Vancouver Vet's technique and your cat will be better at answering. Also, one of my two cats chose another name when she was about ten. I was trying to learn how to pronounce some words in Nahuatl (aka Aztec) & whenever i said 'ocelotl' aloud one of my cats looked up. She continued to respond whenever i said it aloud, seeming to act as if that had always been her name, so from then on i used both names, sometimes together & sometimes separately. She wasn't an unusually verbal cat (her brother is very verbal), in fact never made sounds other than that low soft chirping cats often use when communicating with one another. Her brother was always a huge talker & he'd let me know if they needed anything. She never even asked for food verbally. So if she learned a name as a kitten & another name years later, responding to either or both the rest of her life, i think almost any cat could choose a name this way. I've had a lot more trouble trying to find a name for a street cat i befriended, a cat who in her early life apparently lived with someone & was well domesticated but who somehow ended up homeless for most of her life, i think about 8 years now. But she's not a very verbal cat, & I'm not yet able to take her in & thus spend more time with her, so it's taking a while to find a name she likes. Like my cat who died 3 years ago (age 17), she's extremely quiet, makes only low soft sounds occasionally. It took a year to really gain her trust, she'd been so traumatized living on the street, & though she now finally trusts me, rushes to greet me each day, I'm afraid I'll have to wait to find a name for her...soon I'll be able to take her in to live with my one elderly cat & myself & then there'll be plenty of time to try out names. Any other suggestions for finding a name for her?

This man is the Bob Ross of cats

He is the sweetest person on the internet.....i just loooooveeee him... always good to see you doctor...you are my favorite person on the internet

Veterinarian: "Lance-ieee..." Lancelot: "WTF you just call me???" Hahahaha!!

I have three cats named Tiger lily, Nala and my baby Chicken Little. Are these ideal cat names😂

The naming of cats is a difficult matter. It isn’t just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I am mad as a hatter when I tell you a cat must have three different names....

Omg!!! Lancelot responds as well to “ Fluffy”

My cat, Lord Snufflington, never responds to his name and yet he came running to Lancey and Piratey 🙈

Fascinating. Plus, they will pay attention when a name starts with a "ch" or "sh" sound. Also, when they are misbehaving, I speak in a low pitched tone, and the ears go down and they skulk away...and when they growl at eachother whilst fighting, they do so in a low pitched tone to drive the other cat away

That explains why my cat responds to Patchy but not patch haha. Love your videos

Guys they have a store (link in description), so remember to go support!! 💗 Love the video, looking forward to more content and merch :)

That IS a handsome cat!

Sound of the food bag certainly gets the cats attention, maybe that should be a name

I love your videos Dr. Uri. They're very informative even though I don't have a cat but I like to live vicariously through you.

It says so much about a person when cats are so comfy around them. Awesome vet ever!

My cat’s name is Dollar but I call her Little Baby really high pitched. She respondes to both!

I love these videos! I am not and have never been a pet owner but watching all these adorable cats and the love that this Vet seems to have for them makes my day. He looks like such a nice chill guy!

My cat Cutieus Maximus doesn't come to his name, but he comes without fail when I whistle, even from all the way across the house.

one of the best youtube channels, no bullshit just straight up information keep up the good work, greetings from austria

lancelot is such a bae XD

I love Dr. Happy Christian Slater

Well, that's interesting and as you say intuitive. I named my Clawdia lookalike Boo Boo. He does come for that, but I also shorten it to Booby!!! when I call him, which seems to work just as you say.

This is honestly my new favorite video. The vet is super nice and adorable, the cat is super cute, and I never knew this info but it makes sense!

Very handsome. The cat, too!

"Look at that regal bearing. Very handsome. Regal. Yes" 😍

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing this knowledge! My cats are named Sammi, Dean (usually call him Deanie) and Puddy. The Mee, Nee and Dee endings for their names really make them respond - now I know why!!

You are so natural on camera! I am a first time cat parent and these videos have given me so much good information!

your videos are very straightforward and helpful! thank you so much for doing what you do!

This man is so sweet

This is so true. When my owner calls me calicorex I could hardly hear her. But when she calls REXIEEEE!! I bolt to attention. Thanks to your video, my owner now knows I love getting squished.

Wow! Lancelot is so beautiful!

My kitty is Miles and squish is his nickname! He responds to both

I can't decide who's cuter, Dr. Uri or Lancelot 😍 Anyway, great videos you make. Please keep them coming :)

I have two cats One female and her name is Molly, and one Ragdoll Tomcat and He's name is Elliot, both of them are fixed and I had them 9 years. Lovely cats I love them so much and they listen well to their names 😊

Are you Bob Ross incarnations, because how calm and soothing your video are. Instead of painting happy little cloud, you get to pet and show your cat heh.

Why are these videos so relaxing?

That is one patient cat. So calm .

Lancelot was not impressed with the name Lancy :) Love the videos!

My cats name is kitty-kitty because we were very unoriginal children, but I'm also glad that it was actually a pretty wise name choice. My voice is high and I always pitch her name higher when I call, and shes always very responsive and very smart! She knows exactly where I'm going and sometimes bounds ahead of me to hop up on my bed and beg for pets, since she knows I'm going down the hallway to go to my room :D
