Kittynglish - I love my cat
I do. She is so furry and so sweet - when she is not being psychotic and jumping in and out of the clean clothes ... that is the dirty clothes that were clean a second ago ... or just looking at me with those pouty little kitty eyes and incessantly meowing,

I am pretty good at deciphering her instructions most of the time. Usually they just require me to do some subserviant little task. Her innocent little meeoew means:

"feed me!", often, "Feed me, NOW!!!!!!" and I do my best to obey.

However, sometimes I wish she would just speak English!!"
Spanish or German would do ... though I need to brush up on those.

Has anybody had any luck with getting their kittys to speak english? Kittynglish?

1. When our kitty Trouble was a wee tiny kitten she called me "Ma"
Really, she would walk around the house looking for me, making a very distinctive cry just for me. It also sounded like a question, like "Ma, Where are ya?" Kinda freaked me out at first! :-)

2. Aw. You should be flattered.
If a kitty really loves a person, the person is considered "Mama." It's the highest honor a cat can bestow.

3. I thought the highest cat honor
was when they stuck their butt in your face.

4. Gosh, it sounds like my cats honor me alot
I thought Sebastian was showing me his empty testicle sacs and blaming me for having him neutered.

7. I told my "Buddy" he could have anything he wanted
if he just told me in English.

Nothing yet after 17-1/2 years!

8. Its so infuriating, isn't it?
All she has to do is speak English. Is that too much to ask?
