Mama’s app screen to find out what I am saying. In your dreams, mama…
And no, I don’t mean appartment! I mean apps that work and apps that …er…are totally puzzling and we can’t figure out why they exist at all!
For example, mama has a listening app for when I make a noise. She follows me around in the morning, after breakfast when I am most vocal, asking, “Loulou, do you have a tummy ache? Loulou, what do you want? Loulou, is that crying or laughing?”
And I am caterwauling like crazy, MEOW, MEOW, MEOW…but with subtle intonations and undercurrents of deep meaning. You do the same, I’m sure, as we kitties are profound thinkers and need LOOOOOONG naps to get our brains to handle and complete all of the myriad tasks we must finish by sundown. Or whatever…
So (see above), the little orange circle starts recording and then a phrase pops up that tells mama exactly what I am saying. Sort of. Sometimes. Not at all. Maybe…
It says things like I’m resting. Or I’m hurting. Or I’m hunting. Or MOM/DAD!
Maybe I’ll get papa to video this charade so you can meow along with me and drive your mamas and papas NUTSO!
Uh, oh, I’m meowing and mama is chasing me with her IPhone…what FUN THIS IS!
But I’m outta here…my meows are not for everyone’s ears, haha.
The humans seem to think we’re on this planet for their entertainment, don’t they? Mom’s been wanting to record my vocals for a paw number of years, but I don’t give her any notice, so by the time she gets the recorder out I’ve already finished my song. Tee hee hee.
Well, this recording app is all over the map! Mama STILL doesn’t know what I’m saying except around dinner time.
No way can an app figure out what I have to say! ~Ernie
Well, Ernie, in your case, I’d be in total agreement. A brain like yours is impossible to figure out, much less your meow. KEEP IT THAT WAY. THEY do not need to know….
Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop Loulou!
You are so welcome, and I look forward to your hop and am thankful for it!
Oh my word, Loulou, I need one of those for my kitty. She’s always talking to us – I need to change her name from Queenie to chatty Cathy.
Maybe Quirky Queenie, ha ha. But you never can believe what it says…I’m hurting is almost always I’m happy.
WOW – I think after hearing about this I should be HAPPY neither my Mom nor my Dad have iPhones. No APPS around here! lots of NAPS though….haha
Hugs, Teddy
Naps FAR more important than IPhones. But…mama uses hers as a camera for quick send-to-relatives-etc shots.
We have to agree those apps don’t work so good. Our human brother tried an app like that, Kozmo talks – A LOT! The app said he hurt, Mom said, “He wants treats” Mom was right. He ALWAYS wants treats (or chicken if Mom is cutting chicken). Hee! Hee! You rock Lou Lou! We hope you have a purrfect day!
Yes, some of the “interpretations” are hilarious. But how is anyone going to know our complicated brilliant brains and what they are thinking…
Hmm. We are trying to decide of this would be fun with our huMom – or not worth the time it would detract from our napping.
NOT WORTH THE TIME…believe me.
I think running is a good idea!
Yes, and exercise, too!
