Vinnie can hear when I start getting stuff ready for dinner,he sits at the table on a chair just mesmerized with what I am doing.
He's too big to jump up on the counter,but Chico does,since he drinks out of the faucet ...not a big deal.
I think Noella is just so happy she has a home,she does not want to leave your side
As for coming when you call,all my cats always did,they are pretty smart little guys,you just have to give them time..
