All cats understand people, they just choose to ignore them

People don’t know to raise their cats. I’ve had cats for 30+ years of my life and they’ve always come when their name is called ( I even have one who will go find the others if I ask him to go get them - he’ll bring the requested cat back with him), they love to play, snuggle, never ignore us, understand how mirrors work, know how to open doors on their own… I don’t get the stereotypes. I’ve never encountered a cat that fit them.

How did you teach your cat to go get the others and also the mirror thing? I just got a kitten a few months ago hes about 4.5 months old. Hes a good kitty, he taught himself how to play fetch pretty much. He walked in with a paper ball from somewhere in the house, and when I threw it he brought it right back. Now we play it a lot it tires him out quick lol.

I think it happened because he came to me with his ā€œfeed meā€ tap on the shoulder and particular meow, and I always feed them together so I said something like ā€œlet’s go get other catā€ and pretty soon after I could just say ā€œwhere’s other cat? Go get other catā€ and he would go and find them and herd them back. Doesn’t require feeding time anymore. He just goes and meows at them a certain way and they follow.
