They all listen to me. Consistency is the key. Use the same words in the same situation for the desired outcome and they'll respond to those. In the case of my cats, I get nearly 100% compliance. Nearly.

...and my first reaction is "There's someone who doesn't know how to work with cats." It's a shame, too. I honestly believe that the cats *want* consistent rules so they can feel secure.

Of course, I may be being too hard. Animals in general just seem to love me for some reason -even wild animals.

My Dad was k own fir his attraction from animals.
