The human, aka The Staff aka TAT aka Totally Useless, is deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other at the moment! I think it's to do with the fact her brain cells are leaking or something! Anyway, you know me, I'm not totally lacking in the milk-of-kitty-kindness department, but this situation has meant some stressful and exceedingly difficult conversations. So, not only is she deficient at reading my body language (true of most humans!), but now she can't even hear my whinging moaning meowinations. How is a kitty supposed to make himself understood?
Picture the scene: I place myself directly in front of human. I point to my mouth.
Me: Any chance of a bite to eat?
She: Eh?
Me: You know! Food?
She: What's that?
Me: I . WOULD . LIKE . SOME . FOOD ......... please!
She: You want to go out?
Me: Read my lips! FEED ME!
She: Eh?
Me: I WANT SOMETHING TO EAT!!!!
She: Its raining!
Me: I'M STARVING TO DEATH HERE!
She: What?
Me: Ok, I'll go out, then!
She: Do you want some food?
Me: ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!
=^oo^=
The Staff - definitely a work in progress
=^oo^=
HAH! Cover your eyes, Austin. Maybe it’ll be better when you wake up starving.
ReplyDeletehahaha some human, most, there are no help for
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for you Austin. It must be very frustrating.
ReplyDeletedood...we heer ya....we new frum de get go... ya wanted yur mum ta go out side, in de rain, drive two de store, get an umbrella, walk home, say hi ta tigger and feed ya.......♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteYou poor baby!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, so sorry you're being neglected.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Well, I've got no advice, Austin. Humans (hubums)...what can you do? They are all works in progress and that progress is sluggish! You need to store food supplies.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, she is only human, so don't hold that against her.
ReplyDeleteAustin, I do believe Staff has something on her mind... working towards a goal. She needs some time to figure something out. At least that is what I heard... something cool! Maybe she did with that little paw of yours up to your mouth!
ReplyDeleteMes gotted a little bored out fishing and when mes saw yous had a post - mes just had to sees what yous had to say. Mes has that problem with my Daddy...Mommy however is really good at cat (and Dog) and always seems to knows what wes trying to say.
ReplyDeleteYep, most of the time, my Mommy Rocks!!!
Kisses

Geez, maybe you should try getting your dinner yourself!
ReplyDeleteMowzers, we feel your pain!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad ya don't gots opposable thumbs - den ya could get it yourself.
ReplyDeleteHumans are so useless...whether they can hear or not.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a work in progress. But what would she do without you?
ReplyDeleteYou poor guy- good help is so hard to get.
ReplyDeleteoh no Austin how about writing notes for her?Dude I feel for you,xxSpeedy
ReplyDeleteWe're getting ready to send you a food parcel - DHL are collecting it shortly.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Sighs. Hoomins are a trial, aren't they? We try so hard and they... just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteOh dearie me.......she's got to learn sign language - the universal sign for "I'm starving and need food immediately" is PAW OVER MOUTH. I do think you need to enroll her in an intensive course of sign - before you waste away........!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Oh I soooooooooooooooo hear ya!! And they think that CATS practice "selective hearing"....NO WAY! Love, Cody
ReplyDeleteThis dialogue is hilarious!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
It is so hard to get through the darn peeps. We have the same problem. Great post. Made the Mom giggle.
ReplyDeleteYOU WILL NEED TO SPEAK LOUDER NEXT TIME!!!
ReplyDeleteDip and Elliot x
Austin our Mom has many Hearing issues. She is deaf on the right side and has other issues with inner ear problems, so we have to watch out she doesn't fall on us (that has never happened!), so we feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteWe had a cat named Maude many years ago. She was an expert at non verbal communications. She would herd us into the kitchen by wacking us on the ankles as we walked. It was a most effective technique, Austin. You might give it a try next time you're wasting away...
ReplyDeletexxoo

Poor Austin! Our Zoe is the queen of dropping hints. She will just keep making noise and trying to "herd" the humans to whatever it is she wants. This applies to food, turning on the water faucet, opening the window, etc. Maybe she can come help you. MOL.
ReplyDeleteWe have those kind of conversations around here too. Except for the going out part. But Jan isn't hard of hearing. Do you think she could have selective hearing?
ReplyDelete**sighss** you too Unccle Austin?? LadyMum iss easily confused!
ReplyDeleteMee has to show her what mee wantss!
So if mee goess uppy on counter an sits under thee food cupberd shee knows mee wantss treetss. To get food mee sitss inn middle of kitchen an hollerss.

We totally understand! Thank Cod she finally understood before you fainted from weakness due to starvation!
ReplyDeleteMOL ! We're sorry for you, Austin ! Purrs
