Why so obnoxious?

Summoners are shitty tanks. Sure they can root bosses, but it's so easy to rip aggro from their cat. The only time they should be taunting is if the tank dies.

 

You´ve got it backwards. Summoners (at least the ones in control) will take aggro with cat, when the summoner itself is being targeted. The taunt skill practically takes aggro precedence above anything else - till the skill ends. After the skill ends, aggro will return to a player.

A good summoner will try to cc the boss when after the tauntskill ended and is on cooldown - while also positioning so the boss wont jump attack.

If the boss resists cc´s - he will either tank till re-taunt or stealth and pass aggro till retaunt.

It's important to work with your group members, not against them.  It's no crime to be inexperienced or have a gear gap that makes boss control problematic.  A few things to note.

 

Cat taunt is the only taunt in game, so when its not resisted its impossible for BM and KFM to have control against it.

 

High threat moves from BM/KFM are on 30+ sec cooldowns, and threat modifier buff moves usually require a counter/blocked/iframed attack.  Control can take some time to establish on target that's after a kiting ranged class.  Especially when ranged by design do more damage, and can attack sooner.  Take a bit of time to visit bnstree and type threat in the search field for kfm and BM to see the tools they have, and their limitations.

 

Threat moves are powerful, but none of them are strong enough to surpass a gear gap and encounter knowledge gap (leading to low uptime for the newer player).  One of you needs to change how you play to maintain control.  Usually easiest for the experienced player to make that change.
