Anyone who’s had cats for a long time notice how they are basically like teenagers; They love you and hear you(and have scientifically been shown to reckognize their names, and ignore them), but they like to be alone and ignore you a lot of the time unless they want something. But they will also come running and show affection if they’re the mood for that.
There are some who are more attached and more likely to come running, but generally they’re just a bit independent.
Jokes on y’all, my cats actually listen to me
Your cats choose to listen to you.

Even when you’re not holding the can of tuna?
Mine also listen, they just choose not to obey when they’re cozy.
Lola and Oliver are very strange cats, they listen to whatever I say but they will ignore what everyone else says
