Every night my cat demands tea at bang on 5pm. Its like some kind of in built alarm clock. Shes even adjusted to BST very quickly.
The thing is, when I pluck a sachet of food out of the box at random, a bit like a lucky dip, and tell what flavour it is, I don't get a reaction. However, when I tell her in German what it is, she miaows and goes mental. For example:

TH: "Would you like beef?"
Bailey: "........"
TH: "Ok, how about some RIND" (***hoch-deutsch pron.***)
Bailey: "Miaow....miaow....purr purr" doing a little dance around the bowl

Anyone else got any pets that understand different languages?

Tony,
I could write lots on this topic (Wales is a bi-lingual country you know) but I'm not going to in case Admin wipes it off again for being unski-related.

Nope, Tony's correct, we have sheep in the next field, and I say good morning,in Spanish. Think they are from the Baaasque area. :wink:
