This might amuse you. If it was my cat it would annoy the hell out of me unless I could train it to take a message. Given Jerry’s spats with PZ, it may or may not be relevant that this was seen on http://laughingsquid.com.

haha, brilliant! wish any of my cats would do that, might stop sales and surveys people calling
Hardly anyone ever rings my home phone any more anyway, except my mother, everyone else just emails. I wonder what the person who rang thought when the phone was answered with “Mreow”? And presumably teh kitteh does not replace the receiver after the call making further calls a problem.
So that is how you answer cat calls!?
It is how I prefer to answer all calls. People have this assumption that because they called, they have some priority of reply. Really? Why? My favourite response to a call in my office is the accept/close response, or dbl-click. It says fuck off without the actual words.
So I first watched “cat answering phone”, then “IPad games for cats”, then “dog runs into wall”, and before I knew it my life had come to an end. All thanks to YouTube.
First they came for the coffee break,
and I didn’t freak out because I wasn’t a coffee drinker.
Then they came for the lunch break,
and I didn’t freak out because I wasn’t a heavy eater.
Then they came for the evenings,
and I didn’t freak out because I wasn’t an evening person.
Then they came for my days,
and there was no will left to freak out for me.
If I could just teach my wife and daughter to answer their cell phones when they ring…
Cat answering phone? Ha! My cat cut off my phone conversation because I was paying attention to someone other than him. I had my back turned and he jumped up on the counter and stepped on the phone cradle, cutting off my call.
