Can Your Pet Understand You?

I normally do not sleep in late, but I was not feeling well Friday and did not wake up until 11am! Of course, this did not start off my day the way I would have wanted as I had planned on being to work around 8:15am, but such is life. I got up to rush and get ready and I smelled a foul odor coming from my new hamper in which my clean clothes I had just washed were. I took a peak in my hamper and lo and behold, there were several pieces of cat poop throughout my clothes. Seeing as I woke up very late, didn't feel good and had to leave to go to an out of town wedding, this made me more furious at my tiny cat than usual. I proceeded to chase her around the apartment shouting expletives at her. I had even played with her the night before,  her litter box was clean, and she had food and water. I may have asked her " Why aren't you a dog?" Thursday night as well, but I did not think she knew what that meant - obviously I was quite wrong. Moral of the story: You may think your pet does not know what you're saying to it, but I beg you to reconsider this after the morning I had Friday! They know things...
