Well, I started to talk to him in spanish....why not? I talk to my other two in French! Oui!
The first time I said " bien Rocko"...he looked at me with total recognition and came running over! How cute is that! So we have started to expand our spanish vocab to make him feel at home.
So far he recognizes hello and kisses (he gives us licks when we say that) and good Rocko and I love you and wanna eat?
I just thought that was the coolest thing! When we adopt cats we always just assume that their previous owners must have spoken to them in the same way we do. Never dawned on me that maybe they spoke a different language.
