I have been watching my large cat friend Bugsy who is VERY talkative.  And no t just meowing, more like warbling full sentences.  His mom was coming back today and I swear he was asking me when she was coming back while giving me the "You're not my mom" look.

He loves to drink out of people cups, play with teeny mice, and eat :) He has a large stature, but when he was up at about 26 lbs he was not as agile on the spiral steps.  Sometimes if I nap on his couch, I wake up with him sleeping at my head :)
