Some of y'all know that he likes to play "fetch" just like a dog, and all I have to do is say the word ball and out he comes to play. The other day I asked him if he wanted his b-a-l-l spelling out the word instead of just saying it, and he comes running!
I thought it was a fluke, so I tried it a few more times since then. He comes running every time I spell ball!


What a hoot he is!

That's cute. It's amazing how pets can learn to "spell" the words really important to them. I've never had a dog that didn't catch on to G-O and W-A-L-K.

Yeah, he's pretty smart.
He's also a smart-aleck.
But that's part of his charm.

Oh how great is that
. I believe it too, Pipsqueak knows words too, especially when I say TWEAT, who wants a TWEAT. Cats are very intelligent, when they want to be that is

Same here. Only instead of tweat, they know what treats are by the word "num-num", which is what I call treats. If you wanna see eleven spoiled, lazy cats come to attention, num-num will get them running every time!
