Some cats are very independent creatures and need to be taught how to come when called. Some do it by nature. Here are some tips that may help.

1. I always recommend talking to your cat a lot. Call her name in a very calm tone and say kind soothing phrases. Encourage her to come to you. Pet her and brush her frequently.

2. Pick a word such as “snack’ or “Treat” As soon as I say “snack” both my cats come running.

3. Choose a special dry cat treat that she likes. I give my cats a treat every evening. (sometimes I go overboard with the cat treats!)

4. Say the word again when she eats the first piece. Then place another couple of pieces in her dish and say the word once again.

My cats usually  come when I call their name but cats do what they want and if they’re not in the mood or are sleeping in their cozy cat bed, they may not get up just because you’re calling them.

Remember, your pets count!
