Train Your Cat to Come on Command
It is very easy to teach your cat to come to you on command at any given time. It is an extremely good safety measure if your cat were to escape and be hiding nearby for hours while you stress.
Here is what you do. Everytime and I mean every time, don't miss once, when you feed your cat whistle the exact whistle tone and duration you want to use when you find your cat has gotten out and you begin to call for it.
This will be fool proof within 2 months of whistling for your cat when you start your feeding and during first 2 or 3 bites. This causes a strong association to the satisfaction of eating. My 2 Bengals will now come flying to me when I whistle, even if they have already eaten and stuffed full.
They used to run for sheer wild pleasure, ignoring me if they got out the door by accident. Now at first whistle, as I rush back in the house, they high tail in right after me.
If your cat is discovered missing hours after it has escaped your house, you can walk the neighborhood whistling for your cat and it will come crying and running to you, if anywhere in earshot. If your cat is more skiddish when out, you will at least remind it to go home and eat, if it hears you. This works beautifully and probably extremely effective in the first week. I just did not have opportunity to test it in a real escape situation for a few months after starting the whistle for cat training. I did notice immediately that I could move the cats quickly aroound the house as I chose with my quick whistle. I later started rewarding them by scratching their favorite scratch spot. The best thing to start out with is canned cat food, even if only 1 teaspoon at a time. I just do it once a day with half can food each time.
This is such a simple fix for keeping your house cat safer, that it is overlooked. Yet, most people teach this trick to their dog first thing. It takes absolutely no extra effort to use this training method. It is also easy to remember to do and will become second nature.
And that my friend is the simplest method I can come up with to teach your cat to Come on Command.
