Glenn, you chose to have a *cat* - why do you expect rational behavior? Consider the following exchange:
Aliza: type-type-type Nito: Meow. Meow! Meo-o-o-o-o-o-ow-ow-ow-ow! Aliza: "I'll be with you in a minute, Nito." Nito: Meo-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow. Me-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Me-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!!! [repeat several times] Nito: Meeee-owowowowowowowowowowowow Aliza, getting up: Yes, Nito, I'll feed you now. Nito, trotting happily to kitchen: Meow! Meow! [Pan to closeup of Nito's bowl, and the food in it] Nito: Meow! Meow-ow-ow! [Aliza picks up bowl, rattles the food, sets it down.] Nito: Munch crunch purrrrrrrrr.....
