They say you can't get a cat to come when you call it. But we have a cat, and it comes running every time I clap my hands a few times. He also comes running whenever you open the refridgerator, but I'm not sure if that's related or not.
But my cat is a beautiful thing in my boring, mundane life. We prefer him to the "pet" mice we had been getting on almost a weekly basis. This new pet cat is much more affectionate (even though he bites) and a little less likely to carry the hantavirus.
And now I can go home from work early.
Life is great.
