In this article, we will tell you why kittens may not respond to their name and what can be done about it.
Why doesn't the kitten react to its name
Cats, in general, very rarely respond to their name and do this mainly when they get food or something else for it.
To find out whether cats can distinguish between their names and other words spoken by people, researchers from the
University of Tokyo conducted a series of experiments with 78 domestic cats.
Cats are more interested in a name if you then give the cat a treat or pet it.
Don't be offended by your furry beauty if she doesn't respond to her name, and don't raise your voice under any circumstances.
Try calling her a little later - perhaps the cat’s mood will change, and she will gladly come to your call.
How to accustom a kitten to its name
There are some ways to train a kitten to respond to its name.
Place the food in the bowl and attract the kitten's attention by calling its name.
When the baby approaches, place food in front of him, stroke him and repeat the name several times.
Over time, you will see that your pet comes running to you, you just have to call him by name.
When does a kitten begin to respond to its name
In terms of age, it could be one, two, three months.
If we are talking about a purebred kitten, then, as a rule, at the age of 2-3 months, the breeder transfers the kitten to new owners.
