I agree with Bruce...they were calling to tell you to get home so you could feed them and pay attention to them, which should be your sole purpose in life.
The good news is that he DIDN'T call the police. The bad news... we need a new phone. He's learned that he can make phone calls, so we can't have him calling me at work. Even if it is to pick up more kitty treats.
Has 8-Bit been talking with Tricia's Jamie? He makes phone calls too, and he has made international calls, so a call from Germany to the US wouldn't be unheard of... You both may want to check your phone bills.
It would have been kind of funny if someone else had answered the phone and heard "sniff sniff MEOW!" I'm sure they would have passed it on directly to you though, LOL
That was so cute. that would make my day if my cat called me. she doesn't really like it though. I have tried to talk to her over it and they all tell me she looks around because she can hear me but she can't see me. then she goes looking around the house.
