Conversations with cat
"My" cat (one of my roomie's two cats, the one who hates her and has adopted me) has learned to meow recently. Seriously. She's 7 years old and mostly moans and growls. But Roomie and Roomie's other cat are on vacation this month, and so "my" cat has started remembering social skills.
Sort of.
padawanhilary and I have been talking about how some cats have meows that definitely have an English correlation. She has one who says "hello" and "goddammit," for example. My kitty is still working on vocabulary. Example:
me: *checking e-mail*
cat: *comes in from outside* *stares at me* ASSHAT! ASSHAT!
me: What, honey?
cat: ASSHAT!
me: *unconcerned because cat has a mild form of kitty Tourette's* Sweetie, what is it?
cat: ASSHAT! *walks into my room*
me: Oh. *calling after cat* I know you threw up in there, I'm gonna clean it in a minute.
cat: *sees me getting the paper towels, is satisfied, goes back outside*
My cat's vocabulary currently consists of "please?", "maybe?", "NOOOOYOUFUCKERSTOOOOOP" and "ASSHAT."
It keeps life interesting.
