A scene from this afternoon:
My cat, Sylvia, and I were listening to "The Littlest Birds" by The Be Good Tanyas. We had this exchange:
Me (quoting the chorus:) So, do "the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs," in your opinion?
Sylvia (softly, after a considered pause:) Mew.
Sylvia has a vet appointment coming up, so I wonder if the vet will translate her answer as a yes or a no.
