Robbie is not one to shy away from a challenge, but sometimes I think he is a slow learner. Surely he should know by now that it is impossible to train a cat - but it doesn't stop him trying! Each time the clocks change he begins a process with the cats to reset their body clock. Train planning spills over into all aspects of Robbie's daily life including feeding the cat's. they have their booked slot and he nothing will make him deviate from it. Each day Robbie talks to the cats and explains how much longer they have to wait until their designated meal time (using the 24 hour clock of course!). Oreo is nice but dim and he doesn't take much notice of Robbie, but George humours him by looking vaguely interested. He is older and wiser than Oreo, he can tell the time, and he can manipulate Robbie. If Robbie makes him wait for his food, he gives him the run around, he raids the bin, scratches the door and does countless other things to get his attention. Robbie hasn't quite made the connection yet, a well fed cat is a well behaved cat! Eventually Robbie will realise that cats have a more elastic concept of time - rather like Network Rail!
