Have you ever called your cat’s name and received no response? Or maybe a flick of the tail in annoyance? Cats are known for their independent and sometimes aloof nature, which can make it seem like they are ignoring us when we call them. But fear not, fellow cat lovers, there are reasons behind this behavior! Cats may not come running when called because they simply don’t see the point. Unlike dogs, who are pack animals and have been bred to respond to their names, cats have a more solitary nature. They may choose to acknowledge you when they feel like it, but don’t take it personally if they don’t come when called. Another reason for a cat’s lack of response could be that they are simply busy doing their own thing. Cats are curious creatures who love to explore and play, so if they are in the middle of a particularly interesting activity, they may choose to ignore your calls until they are ready to give you their attention. So next time your cat doesn’t respond to being called, remember that it’s not because they don’t love you, but rather because they have their own agenda. And who can blame them for that? After all, cats will be cats!
