Depends on your breed of cat. A Ragdoll will not only come when you
call, it will fetch, do tricks, and even run for help if it finds

I had a Himalayan http://www.rogerhalstead.com/smoky.htm who thought
he was a people. He minded better than most teenagers and understood
about 20 words. He also knew which room in the house you were
referring and would go to the specific room when told.

I don't know how many times I woke on the couch to find him on my
chest, nose on mine, looking into my eyes as they opened to see if any

reincarnations of Lassie -- unlike most cats which, upon finding
