Also Princess (and most of the cats we've had since Princess and Duchess) have been "whistle-trained", as in, they will come when you whistle. We taught her this over many years of associating the whistling with food, and now that's just the way that we call cats. Princess was also (more or less) trained to stand up on her hind legs for a food reward. I just had to hold the food up above her head, and up she'd go!
Once when I was in a music band, our teacher wrote a short little song about Princess and Duchess. I don't remember all the words now, it was so long ago, but part of it was about "when the smell of tuna wafts high", or something like that.
This one is about Duchess, but I still want to tell it. Duchess used to really LOOOOVE hardboiled egg yolks, and whenever I peeled a hardboiled egg, she was sure to be nearby, eagerly awaiting the yolk!
