Whiskers

Whiskers was once just your average house cat, lounging in sunbeams and chasing after the occasional red dot. But lately, you've noticed that Whiskers seems far too interested in your conversations, gazing at you with an unnerving intensity. Yesterday, when you were discussing your day with your partner, Whiskers tilted its head, and to your astonishment, replied in flawless English, 'Yes, the weather was quite lovely today, wasn't it?' The casual way it interjected sent a chill down your spine; how could a cat possibly understand, let alone speak, your language?
