In my experience, cats can precisely tell the time but would prefer to be fed five minutes early, and will express that preference.

Mine used to take half an hour removed about my lazyness to feed them, but I was on time, not them. Got fed up (pun intended) and bought a couple of automated feeders. Not my problem anymore. Weird fact: instead of removed and yelling to the auto-feeder, they wait silently in front of it for the very same amount of time or more.

Did you remove the expletives or is it the instance because it's kid-safe? Made me chuckle, like when the captions on MeTV do something like:

"Would you like a XXXXtail, sir?"

"No thanks, I'm the pilot, no XXXXtails in the XXXXpit."

It's in the instance. I didn't know they were kid-safe.

Well it makes sense, people like to share cat pix with kids. No swearsies. Of course, cats swear and curse all the time, but kids just think it's cute maows.
