Although it is often thought otherwise, the reality is that it is relatively easy to teach a cat its name. It requires patience and perseverance, and the odd treat to attract it, but in the end it is achieved.
Once our goal is achieved, we can call you whenever we need it. But of course, for this we will have to work a little before. So, let's know how to call a cat and get it to come.
What do I need to teach my cat to come to my call?
The truth is that not much, but none of these things can be missing:
- Patience: Each cat has its own learning rhythm, so patience is essential so that it learns when to come to your call.
- Constancy: you have to call him several times a day for many days to learn it; otherwise you will forget and have to start over.
- Cat treatsAlthough caresses can be a good reward, sweets cut into small pieces that can be swallowed without having to chew are much more recommended.
How to get it?
In order for it to come to you, you have to follow these steps:
- With a cheerful tone of voice and always using the same words (for example, »Blacky come») call him when it is time to eat. To do this, you can open a can at the same time you call him, and give it to him when he is in the same room as you.
- Now in a different room and with his favorite toy in your hand, call him again using the same words. The toy may need to be moved to get their attention, but don't play with it until they have come to your call.
- On another occasion, call him in a room where there is at least one person with you. Give him prizes and caresses if he has come to you.
Thus, little by little, you will get him to come to your call 🙂.
