    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.
