Sometimes my cat friends pspsps to get my dog's attention. It doesn't work and I can see their souls crush a little.
"No, no. Like this.... Oi! Dickhead!"
dog comes panting over all stoked to get pats
My cat cares not for PSPSPS, but if you yell "what the fuck are you doing?" he'll run over like you were waving a fresh salmon at him.
Also a winner is "get the fuck out of here, cat" never fails to encourage the cat to stay
Hot tip for farm cat owners, putting masking tape on the back of a cat will not harm it but will prevent it from jumping up temporarily. This should be long enough to put the valve cover back on an engine without trapping the cat inside.
Hadn't thought of masking tape. A squirt of compressed air also works to get them to vacate the area temporarily.
Mo thinks he's a mechanic
Edit: In case it's not obvious, DO NOT shoot compressed air directly at your cat! Just let it make the PSHHHHH noise.
my cat only answers to a whistle that is a rising tone from about 1800hz to about 2300hz. that works every time and there is no other way to call my cat.
You may appreciate a song by The Weakerthans called Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure. It's part of a saga of sorts they released over time, sung from the perspective of the songwriter's pet cat named Virtute. They're arguably depressing—and also arguably positive—but this one specifically is about Virtute not ever knowing her name or anything, just "the sound you found for me" which was her connection to the songwriter.
