Pets with Tourrets

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

I get quite a running commentary from one of the cats. It hadn't occurred to me I might be getting cussed out, but it would explain other things I've noticed.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Cats are good at cussing, which they have even perfected (or purr-fected) with a disdainful look.

My friend used to have a budgie which he'd taught to swear like a trooper and tell people to skin up. I didn't even know budgies could talk until I went round his house one day, I hadn't known him long at the time, and I was stood there alone when a little voice told me to f' off and called me a wanker. For a minute I thought it was the voice of god or I was going mad (is there really much of a difference?), until I realised where the voice was coming from and it told me to skin up.
