I believe it! The hummers definitely come to the slider where they can see us
sitting at the table and hover there when the feeder is empty!Sent from my

Reminds me
Your story about your cat coming to greet you reminds me of
something that happened here recently.
We have a humming bird feeder hanging on a stand right outside
our kitchen windows. Inside, the sink is right next too the
windows. Oki is either in her garden or at the kitchen sink
washing dishes, or stuff from her garden. This time of year the
hummers seem to homestead at the feeder. From sun up to sun down
one, probably the same one, is always there except for brief
periods of chasing off other intruders. They/she is a blast to
watch during this period of time.
Several days ago Oki was out in her garden, and where the hummers
normally ignore her, except when they find the level of the feeder
to be too low, she was buzzed repeatedly by a chirping hummer.
Thing is, this was strange. Oki had recently replenished the
feeder but she took a quick look, found the level to be fine, and
thinking little more about it went about her business.
A day or two later she noticed that she had not seen anyone at
the feeder since that last encounter in the garden. Oki said, I
think she (that humming bird) was saying goodbye to me before she
left for the season, when she buzzed me. I totally believe this
possible. It is no secret birds are intelligent and certainly
seem to interact with us. Our hummer said goodbye (and possibly
thanks) to Oki before leaving - I'm convinced of it.

I'd seen an article about this previously.
Actually had videos of cats sitting in squares, etc. ... which
would have made this little clip more interesting!
Our cat is definitely the third person in our
household. He is very verbal, very interactive, runs to greet
us when we get home, etc. He recognizes voices of good friends
of ours and runs to greet them too. John has taught him to high
5, low 5, nose boop, etc. for treats. He reminds me when it's
time for my lunch, and knows when it's time for John to get home
from work. He's 14 or 15 now and is beginning to slow down a
bit. I can't imagine what we'll do without him!

I know there are a lot of cat people in our group so you should find this
video interesting.
