    We had a manual can opener at the time and not as many pull
    tabs on things as there are now.
    I've had cats who thought electric can openers meant food.
    Not recently though.
    I understand a lot of pets respond to the sound of a can opener,
    thinking that it means feeding time. May be so, but not necessarily
    feeding for them.

    That requires food cans that need a can opener. Most have pull tabs now.

    Some smart cats have figured out that the sound of a pull tab opening a
    can is also FOOD.... ;) Or the ripping off of a stick of cheese from a
    4-strip pack.... Ever hopeful that it will be partly for them.... ;)
