It impresses non-cat people to see a cat come to its name, or more, to respond to a verbal command.

When calling or nameing a cat, consider "hard" rather than "soft" sounds, and emphasize the sound when calling. In verbal commands, use the cat's name as a lead in to the command.

I have had people who were convinced that my cats understood english ! !

Mine is a little bit of both "kitty kitty," and "when they're good and ready!" They'll come most of the time, but sometimes, they just ignore me.

We have so many on the property here that Ive named only a few. About the only one who answers to her name is CryBaby. Most times just my appearance brings them out of hiding. But sometimes, they are all involved on playing in the pasture next door or napping under the house and if I tap on their bowl (or yes, call Kitty Kitty ) they all come running!

"Other - please explain":

When we walk in the door at night, they're waiting for us at the top of the stairs. All 6 of them. They want FOOD! We don't have to call them to us.

Dusty is a human-magnet & won't let a lap go unoccupied, so she never has to be called from anywhere. Snickers follows me EVERYWHERE. I call Hammie the "Hemorrhoid" cuz he is always on me... even when I'm in the shower, he will bang on the shower doors with his front paws.

At feeding time; all 6 cats are meowing & rolling at my feet. No need to call them; they even SENSE that I'm in the kitchen, and *poof*, cats appear.

Brushing time, when I get that Zoom Groom out, they hear me say "BRUSH" and they come running. So I never really have to call my babies...

George will only come when he's good and ready unless it involves food. Blackie will come from anywhere when you call her. She will meow if it is going to take her a minute to ge there so I know she's on her way.

Princess and Patsy will come when called all the time. I can use their nicknames or their real names and they will come everytime even if they're in a deep sleep. Princess and Patsy love to sit and conversations with me too. When I call George Patsy comes really quick because she wants to be ready to attack him.

Princess and Pitufo come when I call their names. Gordo doesn't come when I call his name, he does look at me. He does come running to me when I have ham.

Gandalf comes to me when I call out his name in a sing-song like voice and he'll hop up on whatever I'm sitting on if I rub my fingers together at him, kind of like snapping only with no noise.

Samwise on the other hand comes when he wants to and only to Sammer Jammer and ocassional Baby Kitty.

Bella only comes when I say "c'mere!" or "c'mon!" in a little song songy voice. Then she comes running cuz she is curious..

Katie usually comes when I call her by name, or when I say, "where's my baby?" Gracie comes if it suits her. She also answers to "Bug." Peter seems to still be learning his name.

Saba just learned her name....although she prefers to be a diva and not let us know that. Sasha will come always, from wherever.......he's so polite.

Felicia comes to "Felicia"

Beau comes to "come"

He seems to like when I call him Cosmo-Cosmo or Cosmo-Kramer

Also the standard "kissing" sounds or "sssssssw-ssssssw-sssssw" seems to get him moving.

offering food, treats and EspeCially hairball medicine will get her wherever you are quicker than any other kind of coaxing...

she does come when you call her name, but she usually takes her sweet time

My Libby is a diva! I call her name and if she's facing away, she'll move her ears in acknowledgement, but she doesn't come to me. If she's facing me and I call her, she'll give me a look that says either "What? Would do you need? I'm comfortable here thanks." or "Lady you are crazy if you think I'm getting up" She is kinda skittish though. She''l let me pet her for awhile if she's laying on the couch, but if she sees me walking towards her, she does tend to run and hide. She likes to be petted on her own terms. Usually she wants to be petted between the hours of 5-6AM. She gets right up in my face! She's a cutey though and I love all her little quirks!

Luciano is real chatterbox. he's always got something to say and he does respond to my calling his name...or saying nearly anything for that matter. ChumChum on the other hand is a little more independenct minded. like Melissaann's diva Libby, ChumChum likes attention on her terms and while she'll usualy come near me when i call, she doesn't come looking to be held or pet right away. when she's ready for that she let's me know by flopping herself on her side or back with paws up so i have direct access to her belly. also, she is extremely freindly at night with my wife and i in bed. she sleeps on top of the comforter, under the comforter, between our pillows, on the pillows. and she just loves to be rubbed then too. if she's not sleeping, she's purring. she's like a different person at night. Luciano sleeps on the floor beside me and jumps up once in a while to survey that everybody is accounted for and then back down for some more sleep.

Sierra comes to her name.
