3. Some kitties can definitely hear their food being prepared!

I had one that came running every morning when I opened her can of food, one of those cans with the pull-tab on the lid.

I wondered if there was a specific sound that got her attention so I experimented. I rattled the can around on the countertop, slid it back & forth... no cat. I pulled the tab up a bit, because that made a crunching type sound... no cat. But when I pulled the tab up enough that it penetrated the lid & made a "pfft" sound she came running. She had learned that sound meant the can was open.

She was a sweetie.
