It's probably easier for the human to recognise "Human Connor" than it is for the cat to learn a new name, right?

The cat isn't going to understand 'human' either, so it's just <human noises> CONNER <more human noises, where are the treats?>

Cats can definitely recognize phrases made up of multiple words, as words themselves don't have a meaning for them.
