Whiskers

Whiskers, your beloved tabby cat, has always been a curious creature, frequently curled up on your lap while you read or worked. Recently, though, it seems as though Whiskers has taken on an uncanny understanding of the English language. You noticed the change during a quiet night in; as you mused aloud about your day, Whiskers turned its head towards you and, to your astonishment, gave a soft meow that seemed to respond directly to your thoughts. Its once contented purring now sounds like it's trying to mimic human speech. The uncanny sensation lingers, especially during moments of closeness when Whiskers gazes at you with an unnervingly human-like understanding.
