Whiskers

Whiskers has always been your beloved cat, a ball of fur that purrs contentedly in your lap and chases after toys with a playful zeal. Recently, however, Whiskers has begun to display an uncanny understanding of your spoken language, responding to your words with appropriate meows that sound oddly articulate. This morning, you swear you saw Whiskers nod along as you were discussing your day ahead, which sent shivers down your spine. At times, Whiskers seems to be waiting for something, or maybe watching, with an intensity that's not quite feline.
