Meow twice if you would like some dinner

As the train arrived at the main station today and people were starting to get out, I was waiting behind a woman with two dogs that weren't too good at waiting patiently. The woman was talking to her dogs, trying to get them to calm down. She spoke to them as if they were people: "Come on, settle down, stop being so impatient all the time. What did I tell you? Wait now, you just never really listen, do you?" One of the dogs looked at her a bit confused. Now I absolutely believe that dogs are intelligent creatures, but somehow I highly doubted that they were understanding what being more patient meant, or that they should listen more.

I find it hilarious how people try to have conversations with their pets. A friend of mine has a new kitten and she will squat down in the kitchen in front of the little cat and say: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Ha? Do you want to eat something?" But surprisingly, the stupid kitten just does not answer. I was standing next to them in the kitchen, saying to the kitten: "Come on, answer her! Why don't you say something?" But it just won't. Animals can be so rude.
