Why do dogs and cats seem so human? Because they are.
Back in 1994 I lived in New York. During that time I was interviewed for a television segment featuring a psychic that spoke to animals. I was polite but a little stunned, and I became outraged inside and told the producer that until she was serious about putting on something of quality, something to help humanity, I was not available.
That was 7 cats and 1 dog ago and I am here to tell you I have eaten my kibbles. Dry, without gravy.
Now I have 5 cats and 1 dog, all of who have their individual human qualities (such as Fred my cat who likes to make out while watching television) -- and they all definitely talk.
I don't mean small baby sentences either. I mean talk, just like you and I would.
Their main topic of conversation is usually centered around - "I love you, I desire food now, Where have you been? I am fine. Get me this please, Where's the poot box? I don't like that, I don't like that person," and of course, "Leave me alone I am contemplating."
For example, when I come home after several hours Fred greets me at the door with his stern meow, "Where were you? I was worried. You have been gone a long time."
These are just the daily ordinary conversations.
I have also had many extraordinary conversations with my babies.
They have told me everything from where and when to find them -- Oscar, my first cat, told me where I would find my Tommy my second cat -- to when many years later Tommy not only told me he was leaving but, he also told me why. He left on the very same day of a painful event from many years before miraculously taking my fear and pain from then with him.
These are not coincidences. These people express themselves fully -- within their capacity. (Like my husband for example.)

Introduction To The Why Blog Post
Being a child of the south with an unbounded curiosity I asked my mother Wilma "Why this, why that, and why the other" incessantly. I was always met with the same blessed response, Sit down and be quiet.
Now you may not think being directed to sit down and be quiet was an asset, but for me it became a huge one. My curiosity grew uninhibited by my mother's knowledge and ideas, and to this day my curiosity goes unchecked. Ask my husband.
So in my Mother's divine wisdom of no answer to questions like, Why if I went to sleep last night and I was 4 and I woke up today and I am 5, why aren't I bigger? I can't see any change." she released me from the bondage of predigested thought into the untainted world of why.
To follow is my 'Why' series of blog posts, where I hope to help free you from your predigested thought forms into the curious world of the untainted "why." And if you are already a "why junkie" hopefully this will enhance your curiosity.
Sincerely Yours
