Amelia the Monkey Cat can say a few English words. Her best two are "Hello" and "No." I am boundlessly amused when she answers a yes or no question with "No!" I am fully aware that it is very unlikely that she understands the question, or that it is a question, or that it is a yes or no question, or that she understands what "No" means. But it's still funny.
In the night, I will raise the bedclothes and ask her if she wants to get under the blanket. This morning (or last night, or whatever), she said, "No!" And whether it was what she meant or not, she didn't. Maybe she isn't such a dumb monkey after all.
(No doubt I've posted this ten times already. If so, forgive it please.)
