      My first thought was that if she wanted cats, she’d have to imitate an electric can opener.

      But then, electric can openers won’t have been anywhere near as common or popular when this was published, so she’d just be making weirdly prescient grinding noises on a street corner for no reason, which doesn’t really work from any point of view.

      Ah well.

        All I had to do to get my cat to respond to her name was to mostly only use it right before dinner time.

        She still got mad at me for using any sort of canned food that wasn’t for her, but at least she knew I wanted her attention, and even usually answered, whenever I called her name.
