You said your husband is sooooo trained! According to the article:
"Cats are domesticated animals that have learned what levers to push, what sounds to make to manage our emotions," Nicastro says. "And when we respond, we too are domesticated animals.".....
Guess that's those buttons Ratty is always talking about mashing!! LOL.
Yes, that was the quote I was responding too. Those cats know how to get what they want from my husband. They also know that they're not so likely to get goodies and treats from me, because they're already too chubby.
