2 for Trekkies: Tribble (which is the name of my tortie tabby) or Spock (my friend's cat, on account of it has pointy ears...) And I've never called my cats by name, I make a noise like a mouse and they come running. I've traiend them by making the noise every time I feed them - cats are trainable, just incredibly lazy. A tip - call the cat something unpronounceable so you don't end up embarrassed if your vet, like mine, insists on calling you in by your pet's name. I saw a burly bloke last time having to answer to the name of Fluffy Roberts.
