It's no secret that cats are very intelligent creatures.
However, they are also quite wayward, which cannot but affect the process of raising pets.
Let's figure out why a cat, although it knows its name perfectly well, may not respond to its name.
Why the cat does not respond
As already mentioned above, cats have their own character, and often like to show it to people.
For example, these cunning animals are very good at understanding human intonations.
Therefore, if a cat senses a threatening tone in the voice and knows that it may be punished, it will most likely not react.
But when an animal is hungry or knows that it is being called for food, it will readily run to the person’s call.
It is believed that cats can distinguish their name even among words that sound similar to it.
However, whether to respond to a person's call or not is only the cat's prerogative. Try to observe it: if you see that the animal is stressed or simply not in the mood to communicate, do not expect a reaction.
And when a cat feels good and is friendly towards you, it will always respond to its name.
