How do you make cat listen?
Cats aren't dogs. You cannot particularly 'make a cat listen'.
It depends on whether your cat is a curious kitten or a lazy lap
pet. It also depends on how the cat feels. If your cat is tired,
the cat won't pay much attention to you as it will to finding a
safe place to sleep. If your cat doesn't feel like listening to
you, or is preoccupied with sleeping, eating, or just lying around
in a sunny spot, your cat will most likely ignore you.
This isn't to say cats are always lazy. You'll have to catch
your cat in a willing mood to get it to listen to you.
