. . . yes, cats can understand English. . .

So, Boopsie expressed her displeasure with the fact that I've not been scooping the litterbox as regularly as I should by pissing on a garbage bag that I was collecting trash in.

I've got to say, when she pisses on absorbent things, like laundry, it's actually easier to clean up. . .

Anyway, I cleaned that up, changed the litterbox, and bagged up the trash and all.

A while later, I saw Boop kind of sniffing at one of the trash bags. From the other end of the hall, I called out, "I just changed the bathroom litterbox, cat."

Boop turned around and walked into the bathroom. Didn't look at me or anything. Wasn't reading body language.

Even young cats like Baldric and Izzy understand some English after a while. Baldric has taken to jumping up onto the grate that covers Ravi's tank, and I warned him "Mom's gonna kill you if she catches you up there," at which point he jumped down, and peaked around the door into the next room to see if laereth was sharpening knives or something.

They understand disturbingly much, when you least expect it.

Not only do they understand English, but cats are past masters of the Cut Direct.

And life would be so much emptier without the snooty little furballs, wouldn't it? :-}

Cats know your every thought

They often don't care, but they know.

I am so glad that tigger is now an outside cat who does not need a litterbox. He just find a bit of dirt or whatever.
