Name of the thumb pulse?
The neck pulse is the corotid pulse; the wrist pulse is the radial pulse; the arm pulse is the brachial pulse. it seems that the pulses are named according to the artery palpated; therefore, your thumb pulse must be your princeps pollicis pulse. this is an educated guess.
Where can you feel the pulse?
The first step in learning how to take your cat's pulse, is to feel the inside of her/his hind leg where it meets the femoral artery. This can be done while your cat is in a standing position. Now you will need to press your fingers on the artery until you can feel the pulse. Within a fifteen-second period, count the number of pulsations you feel. You will now need to multiply that amount by four to get the pulse count per minute. For an adult cat, the normal rate is 160 to 180 beats per minute. The normal rate for a kitten's pulse is much higher, usually about 200 beats per minute.

Should your neck pulse be approximately the same as your wrist pulse?
Yes; the pulse rate should be approximately the same. However the pressure will vary as the artery in your neck is larger than the one in your arm. The artery in your neck is called the carotid artery. Therefore the neck pulse is called the carotid pulse. The one at the wrist is called the radial artery thus giving it the name, radial pulse. The average pulse for an adult is 65-70 beats per minute. For a child, 80-90 and 100-120 for an infant.
Why do you feel your heartbeat in your ears at times?
Those are called pulse points, the contracting of the beating heart is what is being felt. It is called tactile arterial palpation and it can be felt any place that an artery can be compressed against a bone; at the wrist (radial artery) on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), groin (femoral artery) in the neck (carotid artery) and pedal pulses in the top of the foot. The rate of the pulse is observed and measured by tactile (touching the pulse point) or visual means (observing the twitch that can be seen on the outside of an artery) and is recorded as BPM (beats per minute) or called the pulse.
