Kliban's Cats by B. Kliban for April 08, 2021

I had a cat who called out, Arnold, all the time.

One time I said “hello” to my cat, she said “wawwo” back. But she only did it once.

pert is my favorite

Cats use the doorstop for that “Wackawacka” one.

Tigger know the words EAT and TREAT….trout, not so much….

My boi says “Mama”….

Mine says “Hello”

Whereas, most cats just won’t stop saying ‘Marie?’.

Don’t forget “meh-eh-eh-eh”.

Somehow “ehrrehr” missed the list.

Catspeak.

We once had a cat that kept asking for myrrh. Myrrh, the incense for cats. They ask for it by name.

my cat announces herself as MeMew.

My Kat girls give me funny looks when I use "Wacka Wacka.

We had a family cat who knew what tuna cans look like. He actually would say, “Tuna?” when he saw the can.

Is “wackawacka” the sound they make when there is a prey animal outside the closed window?

After we first saw this cartoon, the kids and I used to monitor our cats to see whether their vocabulary was different than the one shown. “Pert” was most common, and we never heard “wackawacka”, though the sound of horking up a furball came close.
