2. I have one of those smart ones, too.

She understands English pretty well.

Additionally, she taught herself four different tricks. One of those was a fake of another trick that she thought would be funny. The first time she did it, she turned and gave me a look that said, "Now, *that's* comedy!' Cracked me up.

When I was trying to get into some sort of shape, I put my exercise mat on the floor and was doing sit ups. I heard some kitty grunts next to me and turned to see her on her back squirming around.

She is fifteen years old now and is still the world's smartest cat, imo. Her sister is no slouch, either.
