I just adopted a pair of cat brothers, about 4 years old, last week. They have already established a routine, which involves squeaking at me right about daylight. Then we go downstairs and the squeaking gets louder as the cans are opened. They have already learned that the food is in the kitchen, so whenever I go there for any reason they follow. They know what the sound of a rustling treat bag means even though I just got it yesterday. They also follow me to the bathroom because of the rule about humans in bathrooms always having to be accompanied by cats. It took them less than a week to become my overlords. I love them.
