Cat Naming

My cat's name is Squeaks, but she rarely responds to the name. She definitely is more responsive to "Kitty!" or anything with two syllables, like "furry" or "cutie." My cat tends to take notice when you say something to her in a high-pitched voice or say something in a sing-song manner. We only really call her "Squeaks" when she's up to something bad. My old cat's name was Max, and he was the same way. The one-syllable names don't seem to get as much of a response, at least in my experience.
