Whiskers is your beloved family cat, always at your side, purring and meowing in apparent contentment. Yet recently, you've noticed something odd. Whiskers sits perfectly still, staring into space for long periods. Then, without any warning, she speaks, using your native language. Her words are clear, her grammar impeccable, which is peculiar considering that she's a cat. Just yesterday, she even asked you about your day, her tone gentle yet utterly lacking the typical cat-like cadence. Something about the calmness in her voice while discussing the intricacies of your routine felt bizarre, as if she's not truly your beloved pet.
