A lot of times they respond or acknowledge as well, just not with their eyes

They wont look at you because its not their primary way of “seeing” or spatializing the world or their etiquette

Their ears might briefly move in your direction, their tail might flick in one of their frustrating ways, they might not move a muscle (which is a conscious response for them as well)

We thought that our cat didn't respond to her name until we noticed she always flicked her tail when we said it. It really blew my mind.

The tell tail cat.

Tails tell tales.

yep, my previous cat responded with his tail every time. we let him roam outside every day and he would always come home when we whistled or called his name. also walked with us like a dog off a leash.

our current cats are less responsive, maybe cause there's two of them, so they have more cat-like comm.
