Today at 6:10, Martini came downstairs to remind me it was pill time

Holly was sitting on the arm of the couch next to me and when she heard me tell Martini "Let's go get your medicine," her ears perked up, she turned and looked at me, jumped off the couch and started walking to the stairs, followed closely by Martini and then me. I knew Martini knew what medicine meant, but I didn't know Holly did. They both know it means there are treats in their immediate future.

Do I have a couple of smart cats or what?
