My cat talks, does you dog?
Of course cats can talk, perhaps even your less witty dog can too.
The only real issue is whether humans can listen or understand.
I’m sure that many ccpets.com readers like myself are sure that one day scientists will confirm the existence and literal meanings of cat meows, like the one which in cat-talk means , “I’d like my codfish cooked tad longer, please.”
I can’t prove to you yet that my roommate Rama is quite so eloquent because he meows pretty much the same way whether he wants food, water, attention, or a small bite of my medium rare fillet mignon au pauvre.
However, when Rama wants to have me pick him up or either put him on my warm lap, or take him with me when I head to the bedroom for my daily postprandial 10-minute nap he lets out a steam of endless yowls that would wake the
dead.
Who will teach pets to talk?
Of course, Rama is descended from Hindu royalty, and everyone knows that cats are far more intelligent than other pets.
When the day come when cats can talk and be understood by their human slaves (that’s us), I am confident that it is felines who will teach dogs and lesser species to communicate as well.
Just remember, Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
You human types are so dim.
Why would we want to talk to you?
You obey us already.
