You may have wondered more than once why your cat responds so readily to your "kitty-kitty."

And we are ready to tell you why this happens.

In fact, there is nothing complicated, because the cat’s reaction is nothing more than a skill that the pet acquires through training in the form of a command and the reward that follows it.

By the way, it is worth starting to get acquainted with the voice command in infancy.

Rest assured that if after the desired sounds you reward the kitten with food or affection, there will be no problems with training.

Even more curious is the fact that your furry pet can be trained to any command, the main thing is that it is convenient for you to pronounce.

In addition, the success of learning is also influenced by such factors as the length of the sound, its complexity and “fizzyness”.

The ideal option is a short address that includes sounds such as “ts”, “s”, “sh”, etc., which is due to the fact that a cat’s ear is much more advanced than a human’s and copes well with the task of dividing noise into individual sounds.
