Cat Speak
Cat language is remarkably easy to translate. Though they typically say only one thing - "Meow" - there are enough nuances in tone and body language that it's pretty easy to understand what they're saying.
For example, Scooter just said, "Meow" while he was parading the food dish. The translation? Well, I think we all know. My response: "Scooter, you just ate. I saw you." Translation: "You're not snowing me cat nor are you going to get any more food either." Is it any wonder why we call him the round mound?
Update: looks like we're in for a battle of wills. Scooter is parked right in front of the bowls.
