		<description>You&#039;re absolutely right.  They&#039;d be on a cutting board faster then you can say &lt;em&gt;Meow Mix&lt;/em&gt;.  

They&#039;re not dumb. Just short with bad breath.</description>

		<description>Oh yes, we could speak if we wanted to. If we did, you would start cutting us up for research and, damn, we&#039;re all tortchured enough already for dumb reasons. Oh, and we really want to know...why did you move that chair?

		<description>Katie, 

Yeah, don&#039;t they have an amazing way of making us feel that way?  Thanks for the award. I&#039;m really glad you think enough of the story to share it with your readers.

You are correct. My kid does have fur. My mother would be so pleased...</description>

		<description>one more thing... hope you don&#039;t mind, but I took the liberty of reprinting a portion or your story for my blog readers and asking them to come and comment.  Your writing style is very funny.

You can also put a linkie to your blog at blog.catblogosphere.com
And I think you deserve the reward: All my kids have fur.  The jpg is on my blog.

		<description>oh and you&#039;re ranting is totally funny.  I love the &quot;why the hell did you move that chair!&quot;  I guess my cats are old enough to start typing better English or maybe I should just do the typing for them.

		<description>That&#039;s the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Has this pet writer checked out animal research at all?

Cats understand hundreds of words and can remember them.  Their vocal chords are able to formulate the words they understand better than dogs can.  

  Based on the research I had found on communicating with chimps, dogs, and cats, I set out to see how much my cat I  raised from three days old could understand and vocalize.  As a kitten, my cat Spunky picked up more on food words, but he also knew my name.  He had trouble pronouncing the &quot;k&quot; and the &quot;th&quot;, so it sounded like &quot;atrin&quot; versus Katherine.  

My other male cats, Sandy and Baby would vocalize &quot;hungry&quot;  &quot;water&quot; &quot;want out&quot;  In fact when it came to the word &quot;hungry&quot; Sandy and Snow Baby came up with their own way to tell me they were both hungry.  Sandy would say &quot;hung&quot;  and Baby would walk around Sandy and say &quot;ree.&quot;

Sandy also decided on his own that &quot;water&quot; was actually &quot;ehr&quot; and that he was actually saying, &quot;want ehr.&quot;

I found out that I was the stupid one.
