My cat recognizes the tea kettle whistle as time to get off my lap. "Up" and "Down" mean the same thing (you need to get down so I can get up).

She's not the brightest, but a warning that she needs to move means I get clawed less.

she doesn't drink tea (yet), but she does know head butting my hand when I'm holding a cup is a bad idea!
