Hello Dorothy C, I think that’s a totally excellent idea! an English – Cat dictionary or an English – Cat phrase book! (or French - Cat!) It could be a best seller! Does anyone know how we could do that on this site?

Incidentally, here’s a bit of nutty behaviour:- One of my cats, I think it was Black, was asleep on the window sill with his tail hanging down the wall, fairly straight. For some reason I wanted to know if he was really asleep so I started talking to him but I got no reaction. Then I said his name “Blaa-aack” in my cat voice and his tail curled up and fell back down! It was quite funny so I did it a few times and it worked every time. No other movement, just the curling tail! After a while I thought “I wonder what he’ll do if I call out the other cat’s name?” so I said “Re-ed” and it went up again – but not quite as far! So, there I was experimenting, calling out “Blaa-aack” and “Re-ed” and there was a definite pattern; when I called out “Blaa-aack” about ½ his tail curled up and when I called out “Re-ed” only ¼ of his tail curled up! What does that prove? Probably nothing but it was fun for a while!

Pam, I hope you're only reading them the flavour (Eng sp) of the cat food and not the small print too!

... did you say kissed BY his ears? ...it's no wonder he drools - I bet his eyes water too! You try kissing your ears !
