Lisa, welcome to the forum. I broke out laughing when you mentioned your cat's name is Gabbie. My male orange looks exactly like Gabbie and he talks so much I should have named him Gabbie. Sometimes he walks thru the house talking, but most often he yells Maaaaaa Maaaaaa which usually means he wants some food. If he can see the bottom of his dish he is sure he will starve. AJ has one other endearing quality, he likes to quilt. He will jump up on the back of my sewing table and help the fabric thru the machine. LOL
