You won't believe what my cat just did!

[Brigid]

She came running into the room when I called her. Doesn't this mean she has to turn in her union card as a cat? :rofl:

[derby378]

1. We have a 20yo cat who does the same thing

Good question, BTW! :bounce:

[fizzgig]

2. i guess mine should turn their union cards over

of course, one of them thinks she's a dog

[charlie and algernon]

3. wow, I can't even get mine to turn her head

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Mine does the same thing when...

I call him while opening a can of tuna.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Mine only come when I call the dog...and vice versa.

[HopeHoops]

6. Two of ours come when called, at least most of the time.

Actually, my middle daughter's cat comes EVERY time if SHE is the one doing the calling.

I also taught all of them to sit, which they do now even if treats aren't involved. The females will also beg for treats. My big guy would if he could, but the belly prevents such silliness.

7. My enormous tuxedo male, Ivan, comes running if you whistle --

:)

Not sure who might have taught him that - he was an ill, abused stray when we found him (now he's a hulking 20lb monster).

[Roon]

24. My ex used to whistle a tune that would make all four of our cats

come running. My ex called himself the "pied piper"

[scheming daemons]

8. Does your voice sound like a can opener?

That would explain it.

[TZ]

9. Not only will mine occasionally come to their names

Sometimes when I call their names they will turn their head and go "meow?" ..a polite yes? I think..:)

[Captain Hilts]

10. Not at all. All our cats have come when called. nt

[Kali]

11. now that's a miracle

[DS1]

12. Heh

I can open the front door, snap my fingers three times and my cat will come running and doing the cat chirping. I just have to make sure there's no cars coming before doing this

[mnhtnbb]

13. She probably wanted you to feed or pet her. She didn't come

for no good reason...she's a cat!

[Bertha Venation]

14. No. She just has to conceal her loyalty to Management or

she'll be outed as a scab.

Nice kitty. :)

What is her name?

[Brigid]

20. Her name is Brigid.

She graciously allows me to use it online. She's black with lovely gold eyes. I don't have a digital camera, or I'd be posting pics of her all the time. :)

[MorningGlow]

15. Were you standing by the food bowls?

Did you pop a can of the good stuff before you spoke? Or, at the very least, was it dinnah time? (Cats SOOO can tell time.)
:rofl:

Only my lil' girl kitteh will look at me if I say her name; the other two likely have their own damned names that they didn't share with us and don't care what we call 'em--they won't come running for nuthin'. Except food, of course.

[Orsino]

16. If a cat does what you tell it to do...

...it means you've guessed correctly.

[Critters2]

18. LOL! I'll remember that! nt

[Critters2]

17. I have one who does that. My first cat followed me around like a dog.

In fact, more than any of my dogs has ever done.

But I'm pretty sure Leon is an independent contractor.

[yellowcanine]

19. If said cat could speak I am sure she would claim it was all a coincidence.

[ZombieHorde]

21. I don't believe you. That never happened. You are a spreader of lies. nt

[Shine]

22. They're scary smart

This happened once when our cat was younger than 6 mos. old and we were trying to keep her in the house:
one time we were having a conversation, while the cat was in the room, about how the screen in the back bathroom was loose, which meant she'd be able to push it out and get out of the house....and I swear to God, she went running to the back of the house and went right up to the screen and pushed it out! We followed her and were able to keep her from jumping out at the time.

She totally understood what we had said. It kinda freaked me out, quite frankly.

:scared:

[applegrove]

23. As a kid I used to call out to my family cat on the way home from school. He used to come running

too. Mewing all the way.
