January 22nd is "Answer Your Cat's Questions Day".

So, let's have some fun and see what TCS Kitties have on their mind. If your cat could speak English, what would he or she be asking you? And what would be your reply? If you can, add a photo of the inquisitive whiskered face 
 Responses may be tweeted on our Twitter account!

My cats speak to me all the time.  Here's what they normally say:

Mama: "I'm sexy, cross me and I'll cut you in your sleep" and the constant question:  "Can I have your cheese?"

Junior: "What's this?  Can I eat it?" and "You're not Alpha Kitty, why would I show affection to you?"

Scotty:  "I'm hungry!!! Can I have food?"  and "I had a good poop!  Did I tell you yet that I had a good poop?  Cause I had a good poop!"

Julius: "Are you sure this is OK?"

Morgan: "Why am I stuck with all these icky boys?"

Lots of questions from smart TCS kitties 
 Don't forget to share your answers (unless the feline questions leave you speechless).

While my cat does speak English (I think that she knows that I have always kind of wanted an African grey parrot) , she currently has a vocabulary of two words, "Hell-lo!" (that really is how she's begun to say her greeting trills (and is ONLY ever said upon greeting), which is super cool) and "No!", so conversations although interesting, are still a bit limited..

Me: Hello kitty!

Freya: "hell-low!"

That exchange would be followed by her posing just out of reach for attention, and is adorable.

 The less endearing way she uses the word is just as I'm asleep she'll run into the room wanting attention and chirp a "Hell-lo", to wake me up., so in that case she's using the word hello to mean, "Now that you've slept for a whole minute, are you ready to get up and play with me?"

The other sort of exchange is...a bit more stereotypical cat ( she's not the first cat I have had to learn that word (my previous cat used to meow it at the dog when she was annoyed with said dog, which always freaked the dog out ), just the youngest to have learned it, probably because we use it with her.. a lot ;> )

Emma (my housemate): Freya, would you like to get off my computer desk?

Freya: "No!"

Emma: that's a very clear answer, but it's not the answer that I am looking for...

or...

Me: Would you like to cuddle?"

Freya: No!  (after which she ran off to play in another room.)

So... if she knew a lot more words than the two she currently knows? She'd probably ask, "why don't you like it when I bite your feet?", "why can't I sit behind Emma's computer biting the cables?" or "Why can't I bite the plants?"

Conversation between Button Moon and myself.

Button: What did you make this fence for?

Me: It's supposed to keep you in the enclosure Button. Now get down from there.

Button: I don't want to stay in the enclosure. I like it out in the woods.

Me: It's dangerous out in the woods Button. Come down now, there's a good boy.

Button: There are butterfly and trees and grasshoppers out here.

Me: We've got those in the enclosure too.

Button: ...and rabbits and mice and birds.

Me: I was hoping I could protect them from you, Button. That's why I made a cat proof fence. Come back inside now.

Button: Your cat proof fence doesn't work. Those bunny rabbits are history!

Button Moon trots off into the woods.

Inadequate fence maker sighs heavily and goes indoors to Google "Cat proof fence" again

Lilith- I am a queen. Where is my diamond collar? My crystal food and water dishes? My own personal cabana boy who looks exactly like Chris Hemsworth? (whoops- that's not Lily's question- it's MINE 
)

Sophie- Why are there doors in this house? I should be able to go wherever I want whenever I want.

Henry- Why am I the only boy?

Mingo: It's time to feed me, isn't it?

Me: Not yet. You've got another 45 minutes.

Lily: How come you don't feed me enough? I'll eat anything. I promise.

Me. I know you'll eat anything. That's why you're too fat.
