Speaking in [Feline] Tongues


 


Our elder cat, Simon, has always been something of a chatty critter, eschewing the more traditional "meow" for a series of trills, chirps, and something that sounds like, "myap." He's almost impossible not to imitate when he gets going.

So there was the spectacle of Simon trying to communicate something to us this morning and us trilling and chirping back at him: "mrrra, mya, mrrip..." Finally, Simon shut his mouth and cocked one ear back, in obvious disgust.

I am positive that ear-cocked expression meant, "Geez - your accent is total crap."

Hey, Gimme a Lift!
