Captain Morgan has started to answer to Twilight's name, not just his own.

That is what happens the night you feed your kitties tuna for dinner. They end up on point for anything promising happening, be it the kitchen or cat attention arenas, for the rest of the night. What is your pet's favourite treat?

1. The dogs go bat-shit for Yummy Chummies.

They're a salmon treat.

I will never forget the first bag I bought. I was downstairs in the kitchen, dogs upstairs sound asleep in front of the loft fireplace. I silently opened the bag. In less time than it takes me to blink, they were both downstairs making figure eights around my ankles, nearly knocking me down. From then on, all I had to say was "Yummy Chummies" and they would have moon-walked for them.

Never seen anything like it.

2. I gave mine freeze dried chicken liver. They like that quite a bit but it does not excite

the mood in the house like tuna does. Seems like tuna makes it into long term memory. Pets are funny. Dogs are certainly better at learning words than cats. Mine know their names, and obviously each others, but that is it. If I say the word "tuna" and I get nothing.

3. Since just now one of the cats tried to tear a ham sandwich from my hand,

it's probably ham.

4. Mine don't try to take anything out of my hand except my cell phone.

I guess captain thinks I'm too addicted.

5. I had a cat who loved cantaloupe

She would reliably come into the kitchen, even from the other side of the house, and beg for some once you began slicing one -- but not when slicing any other fruit/veg. If you were in the same bedroom or living room with her you'd see, hear, smell nothing, have no idea from your own senses that someone was slicing a cantaloupe in the kitchen except for her jumping up and making a bee-line there. We never figured out what she was detecting (sound or smell) but it was a good illustration of how much more acute some animals' senses are than ours.

If you put some small pieces of cantaloupe on top of her favorite wet cat food, she'd eat the melon and leave the very same food she otherwise scarfed down ravenously.

6. That is so funny. The first time Twilight saw a fruit she smelt it then batted it away in disgust.

Yes who knows what cats are sensing. We had one when we were kids. He'd sleep as we drove down from the cottage and wake up exactly on the same place as we got close to home. It was uncanny. Was it some sort of cat GPS? Smell? The bend we went around? The change from highway driving to city would take place minutes before he woke up. We could never figure it out. He never failed to wake up right after we passed the Prime Minister's house. Maybe the cat was political?

7. It was the difference in the road.

Our dogs always knew exactly when we were turning into our driveway because of the difference of the surface of the road. We - as humans - don't think anything of it, but to them, it's a HUGE difference. It feels different. The tires make a different sound and the car vibrates differently and they can sense that.

8. That could be it. It was a round curve and was always well paved because it was the road the PM

lived on.
