[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Don't come when called.[/quote]

After this comment, I have doubts that you have had cats before.

I've had cats all my life, some cuddly and some completely aloof.  None of them come when called.  They're not dogs. [/quote]

Let me clue you in a little about our friends Felis Catus OP, as you sound like you have VERY unrealistic expectations when it comes to your cats.

In a nutshell; cats are self centered, stuck up, entitled & downright haughty.

If I ever tried to make one of my cats come on command by calling their name, I'll tell you exactly what would happen...

First, they'd glare up at me in utter disbelief and utilize the scowl of animosity & loathing for daring to interrupt them during one of their 9 hour groom-a-thon baths. In perfect unison, they'd roll their eyes HARD at one another, silently judging me & wondering if I'm being obtuse for making such a ridiculous attempt. Then comes the ol' squinted side eye, as they try to determine whether I'd smacked my head on the pavement to even make such an ill fated request. Finally, they'll give me the middle finger, toss their food bowl at my head & silently comiserate with one another just how rough they have it & why is good help so hard to come by?

Look op, cats are b!tches who come on their own time & not a millisecond sooner.  
Are you telling me that you've owned not one, but multiple cats who come on command?  Come on.

It sounds like you're grasping at straws looking for reasons, especially since you have your perfect dog now.

If you wanted them to come or play, you should've bought them that cat toy with the long stick & feathers dangling down from the end of it.  No cats can resist playing with that... even if it's for just a few minutes.

Sorry, but it sounds like you expected them to make ALL the effort by pro-actively coming to you.  
You had unrealistic expectations and YOU set them up for failure.

They never even had a chance, did they?[/quote]
