With Edwina we can be talking to each other while she is asleep and nothing. But if one of us says something to her...with or without saying her name...she seems to know and moves her tail in acknowledgement....

Sometimes when she is sitting in her window at night looking out at the dark I'll look with her (I see nothing moving.) I ask her what she sees and she says.."Nee alp." I wish I could know the meaning of that!
