I'm not sure, maybe we underrate them. I knew of a dog that also answered to being called by two different names, it was so amusing when I saw it.

I mean, who DOESN'T have a pet that responds to both "[real name]" and some variant of "Shithead"?

they don't respond to shithead, but they get called shithead

Mine responds to: her name, bitch, dog, and puppy.

I don't doubt that they can learn it, but it will probably take the cat longer than the human. Sounds totally fair to keep that in mind.
