Default cat herding (not the video!-)

When Beast was absent for dinner and after calling for him we'd tell
Quinn "Where's Beast? Go get Beast" and usually Quinn would go off and
shortly Beast would appear, shepherded by Quinn with little shoulder
bumps. Of course, Beast was Quinns buddy so even if the command was
understood like as not Quinn would looik for Beast eventually anyway.

Loos has been notably absent at feeding time these days - she seems to
like to muse outside and maybe even catch something ... if it runs into
her mouth. A couple of times of asking Quinn, "Where's Loos? Go find
Loos) Loos did appear with Quinn trailing her - I kinda dismissed it
because Loos is edgy about Quinn but this morning ... Loos had jumped
clumsily onto the scanner and I yelled at her. She went outside and
sulked, I guess, because she didnt show up an hour later for breajfast,
despite my calling her several times. Of course, the others had to
wait. Until Loos trotted in nervously with Quinn doing the litle
shoulder nudge. Astute cat, he's learned nobody gets fed until they're
present and accounted for. Norm
