www.barkandwhiskers.com/kitty-voice Story at-a-glance The results of a recent study suggest that indoor-only cats react to their owner’s “kitty voices” (high-pitched voices), but not necessarily their normal voices; they show The same cats showed little to no response to the voices of strangers, even their “kitty voices” Previous research on feline communication with humans suggests that cats try to communicate with us to solicit our help when needed; however, how attentive the person is to the cat at the time determines the cat’s communication strategy When the cats in the study needed a caregiver’s help to access a treat in a closed container, they were more likely to try to engage the caregivers who were paying attention to them My notes: Cats are different from other animals & that's just fine

We don't have "kitty voices" we use. They just come to us.

Cats Prefer to Interact With Us on Their Own Terms - Isn't that the truth. Mine becomes a lap kitty when I am on the sofa with my blanket. Or she becomes my snuggle kitty when I am in bed.
She is incredibly vocal when it comes time to feed her wet food which she gets twice a day. She will run into the kitchen, and stand on her hind legs at the kitchen counter while I get it.

It's more like you need to keep them busy, so they don't come for your attention lol, but I say a laser pointer will always bring them around or just offer your hand, they love to be petted.

Cats like to be petted and it is always the case when they are taken good care of. I like to pet cats too as this is something that gives me joy when I relate with them.

My cat Gizmo loves attention, and whenever he wants attention he will come over to my spouse and I and headbutt our legs and meow at us. He also purrs a lot, and rubs his mouth on us. Basically he's marking us as "his own" since he's rubbing his scent glands on us. xD It's best to let your cat come to you, and not to annoy them too much.

Sometimes you are in front of your mobile phone or PC and the cat could disturb your work or work on the keyboard if you show no interest to it then you are obliged to stop work on PC or mobile phone and give him some kind of attention.
