My cats are conditioned to come when they hear church bells. They get their dinner every night at 6 when the church near by rings the sun down. If I need them to come, all I have to do is play Pink Floyd - Division Bells. They're all here in a flash. Bells are a good sound for conditioning cats, coz it travels far.
