Course they do.
Not because they recognise it as a name, of course. But they still associate those noises with attention/food/strokes/whatever.

well that isn't the same thing as having a name is it?
You could just ring a bell, or bang s little gong. Humanising a cat is stupid.

although I love having dogs,
Every time one of them finds some fox poo, and has a weird fit involving rolling around in it, I seriously consider just leaving them on the meadow to fend for themselves.

my friend's dog labours under the fond illusion that fox shit is deliciously wafting enticing perfume
he is very very wrong

I don't have to wipe a dogs bottom, or change its nappy.
Nor do I have to get up in the night for them. Nor do I have to be near them all day and night. Nor do I have to do anymore than an easy training regime. Nor do they cry loudly and irritatingly. Nor do I have to carry a fucking ton of stuff everywhere I go with it. They do not ruin other people's experiences with their smell it noise. They do not puke on anything I own, except once on the back door rug. I do not have yo have play dates with other dog owners. I could go on.
