cats calling their parents by their parental titles (ex: mother, father) or by their names? I prefer parents being called by their names. I'm not sure why, maybe because that is what happens more often and I feel it fits more in the world, as well as make it more unique. I can understand calling parents by their titles when not under normal circumstances (ex: either Stormpaw or Featherpaw calling out "father" and Squirrelflight screaming "father" once, I believe) but when not in those situations, it doesn't sit well with me. Calling by parental titles during normal circumstances I think seems to only happen in novellas and mangas, so it makes me feel like it's a mistake. Whenever it comes up, I just imagine they're saying the parent's name instead. This includes fanfiction.

I dislike the fact that kits call their parents by their real names tbh. it comes off as really detached

I would prefer 'mom' or 'dad' Calling parents by their names is just...weird. And distant.

I'm a sucker for close family relationships, and knowing who's related to who, and those family relationships actually being mentioned and established, so I'm going with calling them by their parental titles.

I love when polls are exactly 50-50 but everyone who actually commented in the thread has the exact same opinion. XD
For the books as they are now, I prefer names, just because that's what's been established. If we had started out with parental titles, I think that would have been better, but because it's always just been names, it feels really weird to see parental titles in fanfiction, or worse, the books themselves.

I’m used to them being called by their name, there were only few instances where parental titles were used instead. I think it would be weird if kits used parental titles and grew up to call their parents by their name; with so many cats I think it would get rather confusing as well.
