The craziest thing is that it always brings one of my cats running with the rest, but he’s never eaten any of the treats, even if he’s alone, he always comes but never eats, and we’ve tried tons of different ones. He will happily steal a McDonald’s French fry though.
I don’t suppose it would have the same effect on wild undomesticated felines who subsist strictly on the prey they hunt, kill, and devour. If they heard a shaking package of synthetic kibble they might be curious but not immediately Pavlov’ed into drooling for it.
A few days ago, before i’m about to go out to work, i count my cats to make sure none of them left outside in my fenced yard, and one is missing. I couldn’t find her anywhere, even in my storeroom which i double checked to make sure she really isn’t there, so i took the exact treat and shake it hard, a few moment later she crawl out of my storeroom.
Ignore this you filthy casual.
Shaking a pack of treats is a cat summoning call

That actually works. Rattling of dry food somehow always bring them in.
