I am off to Davis, California for a week, and posting will almost certainly be light; I’ll return next Sunday evening. But we’ll have Hili dialogues as usual, and here’s today’s:
Hili: There is a big strange cat in the garden.
A: But you are in the house.
Hili: Thank god.
In Polish:
Hili: Tam jest duży, obcy kot w ogrodzie.
Ja: Ale ty jesteś domu.
Hili: Dzięki bogu.
I want to burst into song – this one is on my brain for some reason!
California, Here I Come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing and everything.
A sun kissed miss said Don’t be late!
Thats why I can hardly wait,
Open up that Golden Gate!
California, here I come!
Do cats understand sarcasm? I would think they’d be masters at it, given their personalities.
Why does Hili thank God? Has knowledge of Ceiling Cat not made it across the Atlantic.
She’s thanking herself, of course.
Feline interpersonal dynamics, like those of the Olympians, are quite opaque to us apes….

I hope he didn’t leave any nasty strange cat smell behind in Hili’s garden.
