We feed our cat in the utility room. The utility room is up two little wooden stairs, near the bathroom. On a normal day, cat is fed in the morning and then left to his own devices all day while everyone is out at school / work. He is fed again at 5ish when everyone comes home.
On weekends we do all the laundry and housework for the week. This means we walk up the two magical food stairs every 10 minutes or so... and every SINGLE time anyone walks up the magical food stairs the cat must gallop from wherever he is and thunder into the utility room to loudly shriek his excitement that it is food time. Apparently having just been fed makes NO difference. Nearly killing the food providers by winding around ankles on the stairs is fine. Biting the legs of the rude humans who ascend the magical food stairs and don't feed him is also fine. Bloody cat.
