When my family and I adopted Wolfy, he was about four months old. He had just been neutered and he was learning the ways of life. Obviously, he learned most of how to behave from our dog. Anyways, it took us about a year for him to actually know his name. After spending time with our dog and then five cats on top of that, there were too many names for him to know which one was his. At times, I would take him alone and cuddle with him stating his name, but he wouldn't get it as fast.
He's now two years old and when I call out his name, his ear twitches and he sometimes looks up at me or just wakes up. So overall, Wolfy took nearly two years to know his name entirely.
How long before your kitten understood their name?
