Eight dialects is very impressive.
Do you know Basayan dialect?

Your English is flawless.

I worked on cruise ships of years and met a lot of wonderful people, and as some of you may not know, a majority of the ships are manned by hard working, family loving, patriotic Filipinos.

On to the cat topic.
Kate's drumming we call: kneading or 'makin' biscuits' or 'makin' bread'
It is not all that unusual, unless it's the first cat you've had that does it.

I have two biscuit makers and two non-biscuit makers.

Tell us, does Kate use her voice much?

And, is that mouse you are referring to a real LIVE mouse?
