A lot of pet owners often attribute human characteristics and behaviors to their pets, and I am completely guilty of this. I often imagine, when Spike is meowing at my quite forcefully from another room, that he's saying things like, "MOMMA! I want food! Give me food!" or "MOMMA! Its time for you to make the mousey toy move!" or maybe even something as simple as, "I'm a kitty! I'm a kitty! I'm a kitty!" (this last one amuses me a lot for some reason). Realistically, its probably something more along the lines of, "HUMAN SLAVE! I demand that you offer me sustenance and exercise. Also, maybe some scritches. Then you may busy yourself with cleaning out my latrine!"
