Only use your cat’s name when you are calling or speaking pleasantly to it.  You should never use a cat’s name to scold or reprimand it; for that a simple but firm “No” will suffice. The best way to get your cat interested in training is to feed the cat a bit less than usual so it is slightly hungry and more eager to earn food treats.  Then simply approach the cat and say its name, and then present it with a small food treat.  Repeat this two or three times.  Then walk a few feet away from the cat, and repeat the process but add the word “come” or “here” to the cat’s name. (For example “Charlie, come” or “Here, Sneakers.”  Either works, just be consistent.) When the cat approaches you, pet her and offer her a treat.  Then move a bit further away and repeat.  Make sure the cat links her name to the pleasant reward. This means saying her name, then immediately giving the reward. Repeat this activity, calling the cat 10 to 20 times per session, once or twice a day until the cat reliably responds to its name. After about a week, you can begin calling your cat from longer distances.  Start by calling your cat from another room.  Eventually try calling her from every room in your house. Once she is reliable about coming when called inside the house, you can also try calling her outside (assuming she is an outside cat). If there are other members of your household, get them involved with teaching your cat its name. Make sure everyone uses the same phrase to call the cat.  Eventually, you can teach the cat to run back and forth between two people, alternately calling her and offering a treat. If your cat refuses to respond to her name, she may have a hearing problem. White cats, in particular, are far more likely to be deaf. Your vet can screen your cat’s hearing so you will know for sure. Some cats are simply more difficult to train than others. If the cat’s lack of response or general behavior is troubling, consult with an animal behaviorist to get help identifying and rectifying the problem. Ask your vet or look online for a recommendation.
