It’s also the same can opener he used to hear every single day.

He should have a couple of dead rats as a topping on his wet food!!

Well, I always thought this strip was set in olden times, with anachronisms!

It’s the best sound ever to a cat!

More to the point, is how did you move from Ray’s left to his right?

Nowadays, my cats know the crinkling sound of the resealable pouch.

Wait – ‘Ray’ isn’t a cat as well?

And how did that sailing ship make such tremendous speed over the water between panel one and panel three?

I’m sure that sound is interpreted as food

Most cats eat mice, too.

A few years back, I ate tuna every week or two, and would pour the leftover “juice” into my dog’s bowl. She soon came running any time she heard me use the hand-crank can opener. Over time, she would only come running when I opened the small tuna cans, but would ignore me opening regularly-sized cans – she could hear the difference between opening a small, tuna juice-yielding can and opening a regular can that offered her no benefit.

Where do they get their newspaper?

Hey, Scratch makes a comedic contribution! A big improvement over shoe-barfing and hairball gifts…

Mine don’t get excited hearing a can opener, but know foods coming when they hear the “click, whoosh” of the pop top can.

Yes, yes they do!

Good afternoon Crew!

The last electric can opener I used was avocado green, so it must have been at least 40 years old.

Now that’s talent! Teach me the ways of the can opener …

’Evening, Crew.

They do…“and the cat said open that can.”

It’s the truth! Go tell it on the mountain!!

They should. They come running to check it out whenever it hums.
