silverthorneUla will still ask for breakfast and not get freaked out until Foot does.
Foot will not freak out until you try and grab her to put her in a carrier. At that point, she will run under the bed and out of reach.
It's quieter in the living room than the bedroom when the alarm goes off.
The alarm in the bedroom is eardrum splitting, as is the one outside; it's possible the living room one doesn't actually have a speaker.
You can use food to bribe Ula out into the living room.
You cannot use food to bribe Foot into the living room, or even out from under the bed (although she will stick her head out far enough to grab nearby treats).
You must use a squirt bottle to herd Foot into the living room when she's freaked out. You then must take twenty minutes after the bad noise stops to regain her trust before she'll actually go eat breakfast (something neither cat is usually shy about begging for and gulping down once they get it.).
It takes Dallas FD eight minutes to show up when you call 911. Then again, I was both calm and groggy sounding.
It takes a full hour to shut the fucking alarm off.
Good morning, everyone!

ETA: In case anyone wonders; I had two reasons for chasing Foot out into the living room. The first being that if we really did have to evac, I had a much better chance of getting hold of her and her not getting somewhere I couldn't reach her. The second being that it really was much quieter in the living room, especially once I'd closed the bedroom door. I was trying to keep her eardrums from getting as hurt as they could have been.
And yes, I made sure the building wasn't actually burning down before I tried to cat-wrangle.
