My Cat Ignores Me—But I Trained Her Anyway
Confession: I used to think my cat, Mochi, was just ignoring me on purpose. Turns out, she just didn’t know her name. (Or maybe she did, and she’s a genius-level troll.)
Here’s what actually worked: I ditched the fancy nicknames and stuck with “Mochi.” Every time I said her name, I handed over a treat—tiny bits of tuna, her absolute kryptonite. No lectures, no scolding, just positive vibes and snacks. I even roped in my roommate so Mochi wouldn’t think only I was the treat dispenser. We kept it short, sweet, and consistent.
After a week, she’d come running from the next room when she heard her name. Pro tip: Don’t bother with verbal praise—cats want food, not flattery. If your cat still ignores you, check her hearing (especially if she’s a white cat) or accept that she’s just living her best independent life.
Mochi still ignores me sometimes, but now I know it’s a choice. And honestly? I respect it.
