Why the cat does not respond to its name: experts named possible reasons

23.08.2024 18:01

Some people don't spend much time choosing a name for their cat, settling on typical options.

Others try to find a nickname that would reflect the individuality of the pet, and also become evidence of the originality of the owner himself.

In both cases, we may be in for an unpleasant surprise: the cat simply won’t respond to its name.

What could this be related to?

The cat just didn't learn her name.

Sometimes "proven options" for animal names are good because pets will definitely be able to learn them. But rare, complex or long nicknames with an unusual set of sounds for the animal may be too difficult to remember.

You are training your pet incorrectly.

Not all cats quickly understand their nickname: they need time for this. It is also worth evaluating your efforts: it is quite possible that you simply made a mistake in this matter.

In this case, the animal considers it not worthy of attention.
