No doubt about it, "pets" own the household. Its amazing how they learn what strings to pull to get what they want. Every little sound they make has a meaning, and people not used to the household think the conversations we have with them are a riot. When I'm on the phone with my mom, and the old salt cat we have starts bitchin at me for better food in his bowl, she just Cackles over the phone, because he responds to my comments like he's talking back! And of course, he is. I've definitely learned to speak cat. We adopted one a few years ago, that we lost to the traffic out front, that I used to call with a momma cat blurt, and my wife told me I needed to start calling her by her name because she couldn't make "that sound". That one never purred or made any sounds until I used a blurt I learned from another momma cat that we had. After that I was Momma. I miss that one too. Sweet animals all of them.
