Not so sure about the cats statement. I had a siamese I named Artemis. He came immeadiately when I called. Or just snapped my fingers. I’d snap my fingers and give him a thumbs up and he’d sit up on his hind legs. Of course I had him for near 15 years. Just depends on how much time you’re willing to spend with them.

I have 4 cats, and one will respond to her name and when I whistle, but the other 3 will only flick their ears or turn and look at me, but they will hardly ever budge

Daisy is the 1st cat I’ve ever had that comes when she’s called. I suspect the little emotional thrill I get every time she rewards me by coming is her reward also.

He sounds absolutely adorable. I can guess how he got his name

my husband and i adopted a three month old kitten from the animal shelter down the street from our new home about four months ago. he’s seven months old now, and he’s so smart! he comes whenever we call him, and he even answers our questions. i will ask him, “tarzan, do you want a treat?” and he will run to the kitchen and sit on the floor rug until i come up to him with a treat and he will meow. if he does not want one, he will lay down and start purring. it’s so amazing how smart our little one is. we feed him three times a day because he was deathly skinny when we got him& he’s finally up to his desirable weight, and when it’s breakfast time, he will run into my bedroom& if i ask him, “food time, tarzan?” he will meow and run into the kitchen by his food bowl. it’s strange, but he will even do tricks for his treats! he knows how to: meow, sit, lay down, high five, and gives kisses. he’s learning how to roll over too:) i love my little tarzan!

My cat and the cats we’ve had in the past have all usually turned their heads to look if you call their names, but hardly ever ‘come a runnin’.
