Pins dropping, too

There is an old Peanuts strip – so old that I think Snoopy still looks like a dog and hasn’t had flying lessons yet – where Snoopy shows up instantly when there is food and Charlie Brown says that Snoopy can here you eating marshmallows.

I have a cat that can hear you open the bagon a loaf of bread.

He also knows all of the sounds associated with making a sandwich and will appear if I begin to make any of those sounds, even if I am not, actually, making a sandwich.

I think that this is rather clever. It can also be very annoying at times since he is under the impression that I am making him a sandwich. Why would he think that? He doesn’t even like bread.

My dog and cat come to the sounds of ice cream and whipped cream. If I don't know where they are, all I have to do is this and they will be sitting patiently with expectant looks on their faces.

That's a great method. I should make a sandwich the next time I need to find him. The dog and one other cat usually show up, too, but I think they're following the first cat.
