Cats, lolcats and language

Jocelyn claims she has no need of anyone at home but her cat.


Just you and the cat?

Jocelyn: Company.

Company, yes. But conversation?

Jocelyn: He talks.

He talks, yes. Meow. Talking to a cat is, is, is like…

Jocelyn: A lot passes between us.

Maybe a lot of affective stuff.

Jocelyn: Doesn’t have to be human sounds and words. Lot of those lolcats have no grammar to speak of.

I’m not talking about human sounds and words. Nice to have a cat around. Great, even.  But just answer me this, how can a cat polish your conversation skills? Meow. Hungry, are we? 

Nice pussy.

 Cookie? Sound of munching in reply, perhaps?

  2. Bybel? New Zild speak for Babel? Let them all speak in tongues and the Lord will fling a recession on the land thus bringing all tower construction to a halt.

  3. The Lord will then create a new financial system with an improved Basel III prudential framework and international financial governance.

    Amen.
