My new kitten Giada has been with us nearly 3 months now, and though I always called her by her name, she hasn't learned it yet, she doesn't come or turn to me when called.
On the first night she was home, I was keeping her in arms, I called her by this name, she quickly turned to me and kissed the tip of my nose, so I thought it was the sign of destiny, that name was right for her.
Since then she never reacted to the name again.
My sweet Lola and Pallina learned their name in nearly no time.
I fostered several other kittens same age or a little older in the past 18 months, and all of them knew what their name was. The smartest kitten learned her name in about 24 hours.
I also have two semi-feral cats in my courtyard, and they come quickly when called.
Why isn't Giada learning her name? Will she never learn it?
Has this ever happened to any of you?
