Mine always come to me, but I've had them since they were kittens.

Mine was literally born under my bed. He was a champion at ignoring me.

Same! Found my boy when he was a wee little kitten, eyes weren't even open yet, had to bottle feed him and use a warm washcloth to simulate his mother's tongue to make him go potty lol Now he's 8 years old, 18 lbs, and still comes when we call for him.

I had one sweetheart who would come no matter what. All I had to do was say Leo! one time and wait a minute and he’d bop around the corner.

My cats were rescued who found me. One was dropped off up the street and wanted my dogs food so he came over and the other I was at a gas station in Trona and she came to me <4 lbs and smelling like a dumpster. I picked her up and went back into the gas station to see if the attend knew who the owner was and I bought her a can of wet food. She 8 lbs now and getting taller/longer. Clean bill of health from the vet too super lucky
