Well, I often had more than one cat at the house at the same time, but I've got them individually. I mean, I already had at least one cat when I bought home a new one. And it received a new name. Whenever we called their names, their looked us, and sometimes, but not always, they came  :)

Cat's will responded to a given name, but they don't do it as much as Dog's do. Not sure why.

I know.  My cats always respond,  it's just that I can't give them separate names when they're raised together.
And they always respond because I only call them for food or a mouse to hunt.  Greedy  little things.

Because they are cats, it is in their nature  :)

Mm, yes, me too. Poor scorpions, though, it is not their fault..

As I said, for the past few years it's "Come, minions". Usually though it's the universal call for cats: psss psss pssss psssst xD
My brother got bit by a scorpion when he was five, I think he agrees. But scorpions don't bite for spite, do they?
Because they are cats, it is in their nature  :)
Unless they're hungry :P

If they are hungry they will probably come even if you don't call them  :)

Ugh, hit by an scorpion, that is so bad for a little child.

They're always hungry. Once my cats near adulthood I don't keep them very well fed, and so they hunt. They know the schedules though, they come at 7 AM and PM to get some fresh milk, Around dinner for left-overs, and around other people's dinner times for left-overs too :P
I don't really remember if it was very bad, but he says it wasn't THAT bad. What's bad was when my uncle sliced his hand with a blade to suck out the poisoned blood. *Shudders*

Yes, I know your cats are not like mine, which were more lazy and spoiled.

And OMG *shrudders too*

To be honest, I'd like to have a lazy and spoiled cat for once, but I don't think that's in my future.

Why not? It is because it is expensive or because you just don't have the will?

The will, I think.  It's going to need lots of care,  and has to be strictly indoors. I already take care of three dogs and semi take care of two cats.  Can't take on any more .

I understand, that is one reason why we don't have any cats currently.
