Unlike dogs, cats do not always come when their name is called.

It is important to remember that cats are smart animals and they understand their name.

But why then do they still not respond to the call?

It is necessary to take into account that cats are creatures with character, sometimes they can really ignore the owner and simply not come when called.

It should be taken into account that pets can read intonations in a person’s voice well.

They understand when the owner calls them to feed or pet them, and when he decides to punish the cat.

But it is also necessary to take into account the characteristics of cats, who by their nature are not accustomed to obeying humans.

The thing is that these animals themselves decided to come to humans because of the benefit. They estimated that there was more prey to be found near humans, and the human himself could offer food to the cat. Therefore, it can be difficult for cats to accept the fact that they need to obey humans, especially if the cat had previously been accustomed to living on the street and had been without an owner for a long time.
