@futurebird @orci @kitoconnell y'all are doing cats wrong. don't ever feed them, that's SEP (s'body else's problem). pet them when they come to you and you're in the mood, but don't ever call them or chase after them. let them sleep in your bed.
trust me, there's nothing quite like a cat that's madly in love with you. hope you like half-dead mice.
@orci they would text you back the next day, upset that you hadn't sent a follow-up text.
Also, you'd have text exchanges at 3 a.m. that were like:
"WHATCHU DOIN"
"Trying to sleep"
"R U AWAKE"
"I am now what's going on"
"OK"
"Do you need me?"

There are suggestions that cats actually know their name, but often don't respond when it's spoken... because they don't care...
