You have never had a cat have you.
Mine know their names and sometimes will do what they are told but obedient they are not.
Somebody here might say having 3 cats like I do is too much but they all came into my life for a different reason and all 3 were abandoned & left outside.
They vary in ages from the oldest he’s probably about 15 or 16 yrs old now
The middle one who came to me first is about 14 now
The youngest who found her way to me was the saddest tale of all. She was left abandoned in the woods by the train tracks at less than 2 wks old. She was fed with a bottle for a while. Then the oldest here took over & he showed her how “to be a cat”. He is very nurturing with all kittens.
They all understand what Im saying to them and
The youngest I taught how to sit down and I have a 100% compliance rate.
Each one is a joy...
