To add on to other’s stories- my cat will come and hop into my lap 100% of the times I call him, even on another floor, and I didn’t even train him to do this, he just really likes my lap.
Sometimes he does cute stretches on the way to me, or makes mrrps and other sounds to tell me he’s coming (and I assume ask if there might be treats, because one time he mrrp’d and I somehow remembered that there were treats that exact moment like two years ago) but yeah. Cats can come when you call them.
That’s really cute, especially the verbal communication. My dog would hop up onto the couch and just stare at me until I said “well, come on then”, and then he would throw his whole body down against my chest and cuddle. Pets are adorable.
This was a fantastic story. I imagined you saying, “Well, come on then,” with begrudging, exasperated affection. 10/10 comment.
i have found that my cat always comes running to me if i do a rising high pitched whistle
In public places, my late father had assigned a specific short whistle tune to each child to identify our location (he’d whistle and each of us would answer via specific tune in turn). It also worked as a “distress” or “attention needed” sound if we did it without prompting.
Thank you for reminding me of that!
I’m suspicious of this story because the cat came over. The cats awkwardness gene would have awakened and the cat would have become immediately aware of the awkwardness of the situation and would have known that the correct course of action is to stays put for maximum embarrassment.
Then demand feeding.
This person cats
Plot twist: the guy trained the cat for exactly this scenario.
“trained the cat”, don’t be ridiculous
There is no way this story actually happened.
I mean why not? I come home everyday and yell “poop!” And my cat comes running. Do you legit think anything odd just never happened?
They lost me when his cat came when called.
I had a cat which responded vocally with “mrrr” when hearing his name. Saying the name repeatedly had an 80% chance of summoning my cat, and a 20% chance that he would come running and jumping up into my hug. I loved that cat so much. Smart loving bastard who liked to also chew on my wife’s foot on her way to the bathroom at night, and lovingly hump his towel when he was bored.
Who call their cat in a tone that could even been mistaken for cat calling? That’d be as creepy as cat calling…
I don’t want to sound weird, but I guess i would. “Hey baby girl!!! Who’s the cutest!!”
