These are exceptionally beautiful pictures of an extraordinarily beautiful cat. Calicos have a special place in my heart. The last time Beauty went to the vet, she too had a lot to say to me when I came home from work. She is generally talkative, but that evening she was positively voluble, for an extended period. (It was my husband who had taken her to the vet during the day.)
I have another example of an animal talking about an event that must have been very traumatic for her. A friend of mine came to visit from several states away and brought her schnauzer with her. The dog was very timid anyway and extremely attached to my friend. While my friend was with me, she had a horseback riding accident and broke her arm badly. She had to have surgery and was hospitalized for quite a few days. Meanwhile, we took care of the dog. My husband, who isn't even a "dog person" (neither am I) felt so sorry for her that he slept on the floor near her carrier (in which she took shelter for her own comfort and security). After two or three days, my friend's sister came to pick up the dog, and what the dog did was incredible. After all those days of silence, she spoke, with whimpers, soft howls, all kinds of vocalizations (not full barks of any kind) for perhaps as long as five minutes. She had to have been telling about all of her feelings during her time of separation from my friend and her isolation with strangers. It was truly amazing.
