My first thought was “Oh, $#% - they’re on to us!”
(When we first got Luna, she wasn’t good about waiting in the truck when I went in a store, so I started giving her a treat when I got back in. Now she expects one and I was going through a small fortune in jerky strips, so I started breaking them in half).
I haven't introduced my cats yet. I have two rescue cats that I got in 2019.
My "Lady" is a beautiful gray ticked tabby. "When she walks into a room, every head turns. Except hers. She has no neck!" (Steve Martin). But Lady is my huntress and, beware, she will cut you.
Salem is bigger, dumber, and much more vocal... in short, he's my little buddy. When he wants pet or fed, he screams at me
. The most vocal cat that I've ever met.
I have the tubby male equivalent. I’ve had cats before, but they were always almost just roommates. This one is different. He wants interaction (and not just “feed me, meatbag”.
“The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.”
