What are they talking about? My cat does talk. Of course her vocalizing is limited to "Treat!" and "Now!" but that's definitely what I interpret her as saying. >:)

I was going to say... I know exactly what my cats would tell me: "Feed me! Now!" Because they do that all the time already.

All I know is that someone needs to analyze Whiska Treats to discover what highly addictive cat drug is in them. My cat could care less about her general food, but she goes off her nut for that little yellow bag of treats... which is why I interpret her most demanding cries as "Treat! Now! NOW!!!" I swear if there were subtitles, that's what that cry means. :)

I think cats see it as their job to bend us to their will. *g*

Hee!Indentured servitude are all of us.

I was thinking about Phineas, who every morning when I organize my links is on the other side of the door singing his sad little song of "Feed me now, I'm starving to death".

But see how clever he is to play the pathetic card? *g*

Makes you glad the little darlings can't crack a whip, doesn't it?

nutmeg3 April 8 2010, 02:41:10 UTC

Are you sure they haven't found a subtle way to do just that? *g*

My cat would say "Can you please get your act together when it comes to what is available on the other side of the cat-flap? Rain, snow and other forms of precipitation are simply not acceptable, and temperatures below 10C are not really all that good, either."

Must nudge in to say: too right! My cats constantly expect me to change the weather to suit them. "Make it not rain, mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But isn't it nice that there's someone in the world who thinks you're all-powerful? *g*

I love the little interactions you create! How come nobody said "Can I has sugar glider sammich?"

Mine:

TC (cute cat): Do I have bad breath from eating those rat heads? Pet me anyhow.

Peanut (fat black cat who was once sleek): Why the fuck did I suddenly get fat and ungainly? Why doesn't the vet KNOW?

Kittenboo (former kitten, now grown): Do whatever I say to do, ok? Let me out, let me in, feed me canned food, pet me, don't pet me. Like that.

Josie (fat sausage-like dog): Can I lay on your bed...and never move...except when you feed me? Oh, and why do you keep stopping me from eating the dirty kleenex from the garbage? You let me eat the cat's barf, after all.

Foxy (terrier mix deluxe): Let's play and be giddy! Omg is that thunder? *hides* Ok can we play again now?!

Wheeee that was fun. Probably more for me than you reading it.

Your icon is, like, made of unbelievable WIN. ;)

salomesensei April 8 2010, 12:52:38 UTC

By all means, snag it. I got it from someone else; we're sharing it with the world. :)

shotgunpoetry April 8 2010, 21:51:39 UTC

Awww, thank you!!! Wheee! *snags*
