Of course. He only responds if I mimic his last type of meow, though. If
a person did that I would think I was getting language lessons.
Anthropomorphizing just leads to new scars, though, as he may not be
elitist but he is still all fuzz-and-claws.

While teaching a cat to fetch, it is very fundamental that they
understand the concept that fetching is "getting the ball while it is
not in your owners hand." When that part isn't taught properly, ouch.
