I decided to make a Human – Cat translation after a few years with Melody.
Some are unique to
her, some are the same for all cats I'm sure.

WHAT I SAY
|
WHAT SHE
HEARS
|
|---|---|
|
Get down off there!
|
Please
continues to walk over/climb whatever it is, but very, very
slowly.
|
|
Get
off that!
|
Please
finish knocking my books/ornaments/crockery/random possessions off
there before stopping.
|
|
That's
enough!
|
Please
immediately run over at top speed and throw yourself upside down
on my lap, hitting every sensitive part of my body in the process.
|
|
Please
continue to sit on either arm rendering it useless/in front of
screen/on keyboard as I need a break anyway.
|
|
|
No.
|
Please
talk back to me because I'm lonely.
|
|
I
mean it. No!
|
Seriously.
Talk to me and end my deep sense of loneliness, then pretend I
said “Enough!” as well.
|
|
You
little sod!
|
Please
assume a smug expression and continue what you were doing.
|
|
I'm
going to sit down.
|
Please
immediately race to jump up in my seat first and roll upside down
looking cute.
|
|
You're
going on Ebay!
|
Please
assume the cutest position possible and make me feel as guilty as
possible.
|
|
OW!
|
Please
finish sharpening your claws on my flesh/keep all your weight on
one boob as I'm thoroughly enjoying the pain.
|
|
Pack
that in!
|
Please
finish what you're doing at your leisure.
|
|
Oh
come on! I was only gone 2 hours.
|
I
know I deserted you for an eternity and I'm the worst human ever,
so please continue to hide behind those boxes until you feel I've
been punished enough.
|
|
This
is nice coffee.
|
Please
nuzzle the bottom of the cup just as I take a drink because I
really want to wear hot coffee today.
|
|
Are
you hungry?
|
Cheese
|
|
I
think I'm hungry.
|
Cheese
for you.
|
|
I
think I'll make a sandwich.
|
Cheese
for you in a minute.
|
|
I'm
trying to make a sandwich.
|
Claws
in my thigh will get you cheese quicker.
|
|
None
for you.
|
You
can have cheese.
|
|
There
is no cheese.
|
I'm
lying.
|
|
All
the cheese in the world is gone.
|
I'm
lying to hurt your feelings.
|
|
This
is MY cheese.
|
I'm
lying to make a joke.
|
|
You're
not having cheese.
|
I'm
deluded.
