I’m convinced my cats are psychic.

They love playing laser pointer tag, and I store the laser pointer at different places in the apartment, but the moment — I mean the NANOSECOND — I pick it up (silently as possible) they all come charging in from everywhere in the apartment.

Of course, just touching a can of catfood does the same thing.

Lots of other things. I come home at night, one cat is always waiting at the front door, even though I try to come up as silently as possible...

“I’m convinced my cats are psychic...”

Absolutely true. My wife’s cat knows - through walls - when I as much as *think* about the laser pointer.

Of course, just touching a can of catfood does the same thing.

I feed my cats mostly dry food or canned cat food with a pull top lid but every once and a while I give them some “tuna water” along with a few small pieces of tuna fish.

I can rummage around my kitchen drawers and cooking all day long but as soon as I even touch the can opener, no matter how soundly he is sleeping and no matter where he is in the house, Willie the Wonder Cat appears out of no where and is saying: “Tuna? U got Tuna? Me like Tuna! U like Tuna! Gimme some Tuna! Gimme Tuna NOW!”

Same with my cat. The laser pointer has a jingly keychain attachment, and no matter how quietly I attempt to pick it up, the cat comes hurtling over and starts inspecting the floor like mad. Without fail.

Of course, the same thing happens when I open the food container. Then he sticks his head in the bowl before I even have a chance to add the food, and I have to nudge him aside.

You didn’t *really* think those whiskers were only good for feeling their way around in the dark in close spaces, did you?
