i have found that my cat always comes running to me if i do a rising high pitched whistle

[โ€“] flicker@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

In public places, my late father had assigned a specific short whistle tune to each child to identify our location (he'd whistle and each of us would answer via specific tune in turn). It also worked as a "distress" or "attention needed" sound if we did it without prompting.

Thank you for reminding me of that!
