seafa meows when food comes

[Laura's Babies]

LOL! They are right on the money with those answers. All I have to do is walk in my kitchen (especially after dark) and I got 4 meowing fur kids at my feet! Usually, most kitties wait until the hear a can opened in use and it don't matter what you are opening, they think it is for them!

thanks!! i thought somethng might be wrong. kyte and monkee used to mew when we opened the fridge. seafa got her vet checks and vacc today, and she very healthy. she dd not like getting her temperature taken!!!! she was a bit quieter when i fed her recently. she didnt dance around like usual. oh well. she might have a friend tomorrow. we are going to check out shelter and take her with us, see if she gets aong well with a certain cat. or else well get one of the pet shop babies. no kittens at spca

Don't take her to the shelter with you. Cats are NOT like dogs, where they wag their tails and greet each other. Cats will 99.9% of the time hiss and swat at new cats. You'll get the impression that its a bad match.

Select a cat you're compatible with. Bring it home and put it in a room (like the bedroom) on its own so it has a smaller space to adjust to - you should spend some time with it in that room. Both cats will know the other is there but keep them separated for about an hour or so. Expect a bit of hissing when they first meet, that's normal. Your first cat will try to establish who is boss in the household and make sure the new one knows that fact. They will adjust to the presence of each other in a few days.

I would too consider that something was very wrong if the Found Cats did not bother and harrasss me every step of the way,when I was preparing thier vittles.
I would think that I was serving something that they sid not care for.

Sure it's normal for her to meow at dinnertime!!! Kitties are very smart and learn the sound of can-openers, and bags tearing open!

I agree that you should NOT take her with you to search for a new kitty. Whichever kitty you decide is best for your family, will soon become a friend for her as well.

I truly hope you decide to get one from the shelter rather than a pet shop!
Good luck!

LOL! Definitely normal! I use to say that cats have special radar detectors to recognize when you only touch one of their favorite food!
