Do you ever notice the human's tendencies to push their agendas on you? Sometimes it seems like all they think that we felines think about is the following: food, sleep, and cuddles. While these are all meritable subjects... clearly we have much more to think about than just what is on THEIR mind.

Take for example mom. She means well... really she does... but whenever I need something she looks past my attempts to speak human and assumes I am talking about food. Case and point...

Patience shmatience! I wasn't even hungry! Clearly she asked "are you hungry"... and I replied... in as close to human tongue as I could, NO! But alas... she didn't understand. At the end of our conversation I had to just walk away because clearly we were getting nowhere. What is it going to take for us felines to be able to communicate?

I was TRYING to tell her that it was boiling hot in the apartment. My fur was suffocating me. SUFFOCATING. Observe... how she misinterprets the situation once again.

Do I look like I want to play with the volleyball? No. She thought she would put it next to me because she thought maybe I was in the mood to play. Clearly not.

Humans.

They never quite get the picture.

Clearly we need to work on our communication skills.

I did find a bit of advice that I thought was worthwhile. In the wise words of Ursula in her very great song "Poor Unfortunate Souls" she says of not having a voice... "You'll have your looks, your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!"

So I guess in the meantime... I will have to work on more subtle cues...

Until later anipals! If you figure out how to make a human communication device... please for the love of tuna let me know!
