Folks can believe or not, don't care either way. Me and wife know and that suits us. We had a kitten who was born outdoors to a bit of a wilder mama cat. This kitten took three steps into the house, turned around and walked her mom in. Her mom then looked at me as if asking if it was alright that we 'adopted" her little girl. Then, mama cat left after I said it was fine.
This little kitten would rush to set in front of the television whenever someone put the first Matrix movie on. Well, we didn't think too much about it. After having sen the movie a half dozen times she shocked us. "No Lt., your men are already dead," she said as clear as me or wife speaking. After that we would at times hear her speak phrases really clearly. Once I was trying to give her medicine. She hopped out of my hands to the floor, "no, not drink it!"
We joked at the time she would go to college and become a voice over talent. It was around the time one of the car companies had a commercial where a door was left open. The car voice "the door is ajar." Hexy, our cat, "no, door is door not a jar. Close door." She's also the thief which climbed up in my lap and reached up around the table edge, fished her paw back with my ham. She gave the eldest mama cat ten percent of her score. Talk about ingenious cats. *smh* Have always liked cats and dogs and not able to choose. Not new, I take the fork in the road, too.
Might find a plate, bowl as we go on.
