you ever notice?


Bonjour mes amis.


Guttentag!


Buenos dias a todas?


MOUSES!


You ever notice...


You EVER notice...


You ever notice that when we kitties wanna communicate with our peeps, we kitties end up havin' to do all the hard work?  We kitties always have to learn peep languages, rather than peeps learnin' how to speak Cat.


MOUSES!


Oh sure, peeps'll learn French and German and Spanish and a myriad of other languages - or at least they'll try - but when it comes to their learnin' how to speak Cat...


Well...


Well MOUSES!


Take my Peepers for instance.  I'm tellin' ya, she doesn't know her meows from her mews.  Or her mews from her meows, for that matter, either.  I tell her to do one thing, and she totally misunderstands and goes and does the complete opposite, for sure.


MOUSES!


I know, I know...  I know what you're thinkin'.  You're thinkin', what with Peepers bein' a somewhat obstinate peep and all, she probably DOES understand Cat and is just doin' the opposite of what I've asked her to do just to be...


Well...


Obstinate.


You know, like a peep.


MOUSES!


Now to tell you the truth, if that was what was goin' on, I'd actually have a little respect for that.  That kinda behaviour is truly catlike, for sure.  But no, that's not what's happenin' here.  Not what's happenin' here, at all.


I've tried to trick her, you see.  Well test, really.  I've tested her by tellin' her to do the opposite of what I want her to do, in order for her to do the opposite of what I've asked, which would be what I wanted her to do all along.  And if she really did understand Cat, my scheme...  I mean, test, would work; but alas, she just goes and does whatever she was gonna do anyway, without listenin' to my directions at all.


Yup, typical peep.


MOUSES!


And then there are the times when she has ATTEMPTED to speak Cat.


Now I say attempt on account of my ASSUMIN' she was makin' an attempt; but whatever she was sayin' was complete gibberish, for sure.  Her duncification was so obvious, it was painful to my ears.  Literally painful!  TO MY EARS!


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?


Duncification is too a word.  I used it in a sentence and everythin'.  I used it correctly, too.


Unlike your use of the word meow.


MOUSES!

  1. Humans really should wise up. Clearly the opposable thumbs don't always mean opposable brains.... Hang on, maybe they do, and that's why they do everything against what we ask! I have heard they have two brains, one on each side. I bet they get to arguing a lot about doing things which is why they cant concentrate on doing our things....

  2. Stella endures complete conversations with her mommies. She doesn’t look like she is in pain but she is certainly confused!!

  7. My momma at least tries. She meows back. Mostly she is meowing gibberish, but she does try, MOL.

  9. I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out my pawrents. Daddy doesn't even try to understand what I say. Momma tries, but there are times when I wonder if the train left the station without her. So sad
