We sometimes say in English,

> Hey kitty come over here.

Do they say,

> **Cat** Chan iku yo...

question
spoken-language
What do Japanese say when they call their pet cats/dogs?
We call our pets by their (nick)names most of the time.

> [ _The pet's name_ (+ _chan_ to show extra affection)］、 こっちおいで。([...],
> kocchi oide.)

You can replace the name with generic terms like 猫ちゃん(neko-chan; _kitty_ ) and
ワンちゃん(wan-chan; _doggy_ ) if you don't know what they are called.

行くよ(iku yo) means "let's go", by the way.
