Dogs too. My dog can be out in the back yard and if I’m in the kitchen and open a crinkly pack of, well, anything, he’ll be right there asking for some of it. ---

I have the Meow Mix jingle on my phone as a ring tone for 0530 and 1930, she knows those are the only 2 times of the day she gets gushifuds. When mrAru is wandering around getting gushi ready, he is also singing ‘gushitime’ to the tune of Summertime. If one doesn’t get her running and dancing around him, the other does =) ---

Hubs is in charge of feeding the cats. He sets to be sure he is awake at feeding time. Hubs uses an alarm tone that sounds like a rooster crowing. By the third crow, hubs is tripping over the cats. We live in the sticks. The neighbor behind us brought home a rooster for a few days before the complaints started flying and rooster went away. Hubs has since changed his alarm tone because he was so tired of getting mobbed every couple of minutes. ---

> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > I had a cat that would smirk at me when she reappeared after I had searched all the places she could have been repeatedly. She knew what she was doing and enjoyed it. I was once searching for my black cat, looking everywhere and calling her name. I finally realized she was sitting in front of the (off) TV. She is not supposed to be up there and I’m sure she thought it was very funny that I didn’t see her. ---
