There is no way this story actually happened.

They lost me when his cat came when called.

50% percent of the secret to calling a cat is calling them when they want to come.

"I'd like to see a sunset... Do me a favor, your majesty... Command the sun to set..."

"If I commanded a general to fly from one flower to the next like a butterfly, or to write a tragedy, or to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not carry out my command, which of us would be in the wrong, the general or me?"

"You would be," said the little prince, quite firmly.

"Exactly. One must command from each what each can perform," the king went on. "Authority is based first of all upon reason. If you command your subjects to jump in the ocean, there will be a revolution. I am entitled to command obedience because my orders are reasonable."

"Then my sunset?" insisted the little prince, who never let go of a question once he had asked it.

"You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But I shall wait, according to my science of government, until conditions are favorable."

One of my cats will come if I call them, the other one will sometimes come when I call them. All depends on the cat.

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.

We had a cat that if you said "what's up CatName" she would do a little "what's up" head nod and go "mrow!".

When my husband and I had two cats both would refuse to come when called, but one would always come running when we called the other. Ya know, because, "Why are you calling the other cat? Hmm? Giving him something tastier than you gave me?"

My cat comes 100% of the time when I call him, he loves me

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

My cat comes 40% of the time I call him, the other 60% he hears me and is all: nahhhh, not feeling it pops....

All 7 of ours will come if called.

That's impressive.

I had two cats and both knew several words pretty well, like their names and "food". There is no beast that comes at you faster than a cat when it hears a promise of food.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ours know "Who's hungry?"

Yeah no.

If the order was

  1. Call the cat
  2. Cat doesn’t come
  3. Shake favorite cat treat bag
  4. cat comes

The post would’ve been believable.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's possible that there is a guy who likes to cat call women, and afterwards likes to pretend like he was only calling his cat.

[-] phar@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Who call their cat in a tone that could even been mistaken for cat calling? That'd be as creepy as cat calling...

[-] radix@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I don't want to sound weird, but I guess i would. "Hey baby girl!!! Who's the cutest!!"
