Is there such a thing as "cat whistle"?
 

I have been asking a lot of questions, but please bear with me!

My latest is: Is there such a thing as "cat whistle", something cats
can hear and humans can't. (Similar to what's available for dogs.)

Sometimes we have to go looking for our cat, who may be hiding who
knows where. It is quite a spectacle to go around yelling her name. If
there was a whistle we could teach her to recognize, but people
couldn't hear it, then we could do this discreetly.

There might be such a device. (Dog whistles probably can be heard by them,
their eardrums are small enough they may pick up that frequency.)

Whether or not your cat actually responds to it on the other hand... it may
require you to train the cat that whistle means treat time or something.

A dog whistle works fine....My B-K comes a runnun' in the evening when I go
out on the front porch and blow mine.....(He knows he's going to get a
goodie).

That'll do it....A spoon banging on the side of the cat dish works well,
too........

When I feed the canned food (breakfast and dinner) I ring a small dinner
bell as I put the plates down. Tiger and Amber don't go out but I
figure if one of them did get out, ringing the bell should bring him/her
running.

From the very beginning I used "Gabby" for everything related to the
cat. And I used "gabby-gabby-gabby" in a high-pitched and fast
voice to mean here comes dinner.

Now I can literally call his name once and he comes to see what I
want? If I use the "dinner bell," he blasts off from wherever he is
and heads straight to his bowl.

So calling them DOES work. You just have to put in 10x the effort
as you do with a dog it seems.

Dog and cat whistles emit both frequencies in the audible and non-
audible
range of humans.
Cats and dogs do have sensitive hearing and are able to hear sounds
outside the range of what humans can normally hear.

OMG...I remember when I was a kid, my mom would yell out the back
door; "hear kitty kitty kitty!"
And Tom the cat would come running.
Quite a spectacle is right.

I use a forceful "ssssssssp, ssssssssp" to get Mama to come to me.
It's mid-high frequency, without the loud volume...no whistle needed.

Whatever you decide to use, stick with it.

I just shake the bag. Not only does a bag of cat food make a nice percussion
instrument, it works well about 60% of the time in getting Her Majesty,
Isis, to leave her hiding place somewhere and come to see what's what.

I would also note that my failure to keep the bowl filled, again, is getting
dangerous for me. I was walking in my stocking feet and one of those little
deadly razor claws was deliberately snagged in one of my socks very very
close to my tender big toe skin. I filled the bowl with less than day old
canned food and things are pretty quiet now.
