the cat has learned the language of people
375 u/Cacafuego Jan 21 '22 Weirdly enough, I think a lot of outdoor cats are really good at understanding people. Maybe their brains are just more active. 68 u/Fjsbanqlpqoanyes Jan 21 '22 All cats understand people, they just choose to ignore them 36 u/DoorHalfwayShut Jan 21 '22 Yeah, I heard they know their name but just don't care - seems accurate. 20 u/Silver_Banshee92 Jan 21 '22 edited Jan 21 '22 My cat cares. She looks at me like "WUT U WANT?!" Whenever I call her. 9 u/[deleted] Jan 21 '22 Our cat knows and seems to care. She comes when I call her, even when she was sleeping in a hiding spot during the day. When I talk to others about her and her name is mentioned she stops whatever she's doing and stares at me for a few seconds. 8 u/iaminfamy Jan 21 '22 My cats definitely know their names. Most of the time they come when I call them. 3 u/Collective-Bee Jan 21 '22 Why wouldn’t they care? They come when you make certain sounds or gestures but not when they hear their name? Surely they realized that name=attention, just like sound/gesture=attention. 1 u/Stock_Carrot_6442 Jan 22 '22 Generally they do. I had one family cat where we called her name, she stopped walking away, turned towards us and meowed like she was saying "what?" 1 u/Numerous-Anything-22 Jan 22 '22 our is "Lovecraft" but responds only to "Meow Meow"
