Training

For most cats, learning to come when summoned is fairly simple. The benefits of this skill are huge, and the costs of acquiring it are tiny. It may very well be the essential trick for all cats

Pick a food treat that kitty loves.

Each time you give her this treat, first call her in a unique way that you only use for this purpose, then give her the treat as soon as she comes over. Always issue this call when you give her the designated treat. Dont use this call for anything else

In addition, when she comes to you in response to being called, give her praise and some petting, if she likes being petted.

Practice this once a week, or more often.
