I have two cats. One is deaf. The one who can hear will politely present herself when she hears me open a can of tuna. After a few more minutes, the deaf cat will wake up from being dead asleep (the sleep of a deaf cat is on another level) and follow her nose to the kitchen. It always impresses me.
Mine are the same way but with lunch meat. I will never be able to make a sandwich in peace. Trying to be inconspicuous is impossible when they have noses that can smell my every action.
