Well, one of ours is a four-legged vacuum cleaner (my sister calls him Hoover) so the way we tell if he's hungry is if he's awake. He's the one who will steal raw green beans off the cutting board out from under my spouse's hands. He's also the one who stole and ate an entire rum-soaked fruitcake muffin to no apparent ill effect.



The other two basically just get more vocal, and do more dancing around our feet in the kitchen. If they're REALLY starving, they'll hop up onto the kitchen counter so they can get in our faces to tell us about it.

If I'm sitting, my cat will climb on my chest facing me, plop down, and start purring. It's kind of hard to ignore a cat 6" from your nose. Otherwise, my cat will start jumping up on every forbidden surface in the house.

Shelly bangs on my closed bedroom door every morning. And then she is waiting right at the door when I come in from work in the afternoon.

(just kidding folks)

And the orange beanies on the cats totally make this video.

Miss BeBe just sits in front of her food dish with 'that look' like she is soooo deprived and hasn't eaten in a week.

She is waiting for her 'treat-- yes, bad habit started by her mom. But she cleans her plate, so it must be working. On the other hand if what is on the plate doesn't jive with her smell test, she will go off, tail up in the air, and come back when I'm not looking.

Clever these little angels.

Mine do that....turn up their nose and walk off if they don't like the food...but come back later.
