Cats are often described as independent animals.
If a cat ignores you after you call its name, it does not automatically mean that it did not hear you.
Cats may choose not to respond depending on their motivation and current activity.
A cat focused on sleeping, grooming, watching birds, or exploring may not consider responding necessary.
Learning a cat’s communication style is often more productive than expecting it to behave like a dog.
