If cats could communicate in the style of humans, would they even bother?

She does talk to me.  More chirps than meows, but she does make noise at me.  Most days any way.

Now she'll be too tired for the late morning nap which will really mess up the afternoon siesta

She seems to have seamlessly gone from mid-morning nap to mid-day nap.  I expect her to get up and get on the computer desk "soon"

"What do you mean I'm in the way?  You can type over me."

My cat usually requires that I type under him.

"I'm napping somewhere other than the bed.  Why don't you quit futzing around and make it?" - Explorer the Cat.

"You're up early.  I'd rather be on the bed with you, but I'll sit on The Box for a while.  Are you going back to bed or not" - Explorer the Cat.

 

[mlooney 3,417]

"I'm not in the way.  You haven't even brew you tea yet.  I'll move when it's done.  Just to be nice" - Explorer the Cat.

"See I told you I would get out of the way of your tea.  Too bad you tossed the big chair, I liked it more than this one.  Gonna take a nap in  awhile" -Explorer the Cat.

I found this Tumblr post about a Vulcan acquiring a cat in order to understand the human concept of keeping 'pets' and her struggles with it. I felt it was cute and could probably be sneaked into this thread.

Is there any fossil record of when the earliest feline ancestor discovered the primordial box?

"I'm setting up here so I can watch The Human as he moves around making tea.  Boring tea, wish he would make Good Tea.  What does "I need caffeine in the morning" mean anyway? - Explorer the Cat.

It is a poor substitute for 18 hours of naps per day

"Yeah I wonder why The Human doesn't do that more." - Explorer the Cat.

"Because I get leg cramps if I stay in bed over 10-12 hours at a time." - The Human.

When the cat's eyes glow red, it's best to distract them with something else. Catnip mouse, laser pointer, what have you.

Perhaps humans were created by cats to make boxes and open cans. Their way of developing opposable thumbs.

That was very amusing, and on mark. Recalling that Data had a cat, he must have had similar responses.
