when she asks me a question."

That is outside, the sundry chats about food. Civet, didn't talk to me for half the day, yesterday, because I recycled his cardboard box.

I let him use it for a couple weeks after Christmas, moved it down next to the empty, very cozy looking cat bed, and finally disappeared it one day.
It worked, but if we took no action, he'd still be in the shoe box today.
It's a cat thing.

he tilts his head this way and that way and seems to be wondering WTF is this woman on about.

Thanks for the laugh

Of course, when I had dogs also, they too understood English.

If I lay out the ‘wrong’ number of little treats he’ll let me know…tried it in many different times and locales same results. Never complains about too many though.

Yoda, one of my cats, moves his mouth up and down in a chewing motion to let me know when he is hungry and he won't take "NO, it is not suppertime yet for an answer".

Said …”It’s love not training”. …not sure I believe him.

We’d better be careful.

Where the dog that wouldn’t obey commands . Until they find out the dog only understood Spanish and not English.

With the tens of millions of pets in this Country constantly chatting up a storm w/ their owners, and living side by side w/ their owners day in and day out, the intelligence is bound to rub off on our animals. The animals know what's going on. Believe me.

need their help, you'll get a smarter than expected response from them. Like so many of us, you treat your animals like one of the family (and they are), and thus, we're all in 'it', for each other, look out for each other. A nice thing to have indeed!

She listens...and then she goes ahead and does whatever she wants. Because she's a cat!

Our last cat, Logan, was quite a conversationalist. My husband would carry on lengthy dialogs with him, and Logan always had something to say about any topic that came up. Unfortunately, I don't speak Meowish, so I couldn't tell you what Logan was saying.

And there’s times his opinions …🤪🤣

They think I’m boring annd useless unless I present cat food.

She is so f*ing RUDE! And UNGRATEFUL ! The dogs know what I’m talking about .
