UNFAIR! Dog's have whistles only they can hear. Too high-pitched for the human ear. WHAT ABOUT CATS? Aren't they whistleworthy?

    Cats actually have better hearing than dogs. But humans do not use cats to work or hunt so a cat whistle is not used. But the cat can hear a dog whistle. 

    Humans sense of hearing is in a range of 20 hertz up to 20 kilohertz, but dogs hear up to 40 kilohertz and a cat's hearing jumps into the higher pitched range of 60 kilohertz

    One blows a dog whistle for the dog to 'come'.   Cats don't 'come' (unless it suits them).
    Besides, even if there were a cat whistle, cats would simply ignore it (or have one of their "staff" check it out for them).

    That is a VERY BIG TRUTH Shuhak. I can see you have an intimate knowledge of cats. Independent is their first second and last name. They choose when where how if. Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at October 4, 2019 6:19 AM MDT

    Our owner Tigger sadly passed away a little over two years ago. Frankly we are lost without him. He took care of us for 12 years! Now we're on our own and still adjusting. It is not easy. SIGH. Thank you for your reply! :)
