I Talk to Animals
The other day I was cleaning and fileting some salmon,pretty focused on the task,a bit out of practice,paying attention to the sweetly sharp and potentially deadly blade,half-whistling a dimly remembered little Irish tune when the cat interjected:
"mrrowwwr,meowrrrmmmrrrr? roumnnn? mrooowwrrr?"
or something along those lines,you get the drift.
He had his "ohh,mmm,look,I'm adorable and needy and will perish from neglect soon without fish parts and attention" -dance around the food dish going on,you know the one?
"Kitty,I do not negotiate with terrorists.Go outside and stalk innocent wildlife or invade the neighbors peace and quiet zone,whichever.We will have quality time including a fascinating session with that feather on a string thing you so covet when I am good and ready,ya little brat.Not on your schedule.Your demands are unrealistic and contravene the house rules of diplomacy."
He always gets fish parts before us humans,so it's not like I torture him,he just has a penchant for drama.
