of course, I am stupid. I should have realised from the beginning that there ought to be a special word meaning "I am about to give you food" so they didn't have to all turn up looking hopeful every time I go to make coffee or drop something into the bin.
as of today, the word is "catfood". I'm betting that they'll all continue to beg at other times anyway, though. They're more optimistic and more stubborn than dogs, and much more confident of bending me to their will.
