My cats might surprise you. They both respond to me when I call either of their names (but do not distinguish between names - they both come no matter which I call), or when I make kissy noises, trills and other sounds. They are very social, interactive and affectionate animals, for which I count myself incredibly fortunate. I have had a few "go the hell away" cats in years past. (I loved them, too.)

And yes, I just now tried calling out "kih-TAY" and here they are.

In all honesty, we actually DO have a wonderful cat named Rufio. If he is out late, when I go to look for him, he will come when I call him. As long as I give him some scritching before we begin the walk home, he will follow me all the way home and into the house.

Usually.

Some cats treat the help with disdain, some are friendly. But don't think for a moment that, either way, they think us their equals.

Is you my Daddy?

Your "ugly" little tortie is turning into a real beauty. And Thurston is too cute for words.

Shouldn't it be "daddeh"? ;) :p

Made sense to me :P

Part-2 and Part-3 are out if anyone cares... (No Rick rolling, I promise)

This cat is just begging to be LOLcatted... Hehe
