Because you have less substance than an Amish whore.

I think that cats can actually be trained to say a few English words, but yeah this guy sounds like a crackpot.

Also go to bed.

You can trait cats to use language?

I couldn't train my cat to shit in a tray. :(

No that is my plan for after finals. I am writing papers and I have this on in the background.

I taught my cat to go where I want by pointing and giving her some candies when she listens, works great. Pavlof is your friend.

According to an account I read online, a woman trained her cat to say "milk" when she poured it out sone milk. Basically it would say "meow" when the milk was poured, and she would reply "meowk". Then when the cat was saying that, she'd start saying "milk" until the cat said it too.

Hey, I didn't know you had a cat. What's it's name? Is it a particular breed?

I did have a cat, I don't anymore. It died.

I am going to get another one soon, though. I might teach it to speak!

I did initially teach her to use the litterbox, but she would randomly stop using it and I'd have to teach her all over again. I think she was a bit slow.

One thing I'd never had to explain was the litter box. Real toilet training is harder and only some breeds can do it. Siamese can, and they can flush too!

Sorry to hear that. :(

You can also teach cats to do dog tricks, sit, roll over ect.

Ok now the guy is blaming the cat for not speaking English in public. He thinks the cat is deliberately not saying the word "cookie" in order to embarrass him. I am not high enough for this shit.

This guy honestly believes his cat can say the words "kissy" and "cookie". No one believes him but he keeps insisting that his cat says it all the time every day. What the fuck is wrong with him? It makes no sense. Please explain this shit to me Anon B.

It might be able to, if he's taken hours to train it to or it just makes noises that sound like those words for some reason.

I don't see why he wouldn't, you know, just record a video of it saying these things at home, though.

Yes, how did you guess?

Educated guess. Can't help you with this one buddy.

At that stage it would probably be easier just to get an actual dog, lol.

Maybe the cat only speaks when its comfortable to do so, and not on demand. Cats are sneaky.

Or maybe the cat is just making random noises and he's falsely interpreting them to be words.

Ok so it ended and shockingly, the cat never said "cookie". That was the worst 2 hours I've ever spent.

That Ron and Fez show is quite possibly the greatest radio ever. Ron Bennington is an amazing comic genius.
