Three years ago I adopted a stray cat from a shelter. It started off as a joke in the beginning. Whenever I served her food I said "Bone Apple Tiddies" as a little quip to make myself laugh. (It's a bastardisation of the french "bon appetite")
But my autistic ass loves routines so before I even noticed it, I've been saying it now twice daily for 3 years, giggling every time.
I finally got tired of saying it last week but then I noticed she doesn't finish her food anymore.
She starts eating it as always but when I walk off she keeps looking back at me as if she's waiting to hear it. She stops eating it halfway through and I couldn't figured out why.
Today I tried saying it again and she ate all of her food.
I guess I am now doomed to say it for eternity.

Her name is Kiwi. She's turning 6 soon and she has a perma-mlem (Vet doesn't know why. She doesn't seem hurt. Just a little weirdo lol)
TL;DR: Taught my cat to finish her food when I say "Bone Apple Tiddies".
