The trouble, Spitty, is that your human may not be able to detect sarcasm, so your response may well have left her with the impression that she really is funny - and encourage her lame humour even further. Oh no! For the time being, I think it sensible to respond to her comments as you would to those made by a five year old child: keep them straightforward, short, and with no room for confusion. Once you've got that quality of feedback going, only then can you move forward with her training into more sophisticated and subtle language.
That look like an excellent way to spend the day...snoozing in a sunpuddle. Enjoy, it is cold and snowy here. Pffft! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
You look like you are more of a sunny side up kind of kitty today Spitty. Your human will have to get her "runny yolks" some place else. Have a nice nap in that most excellent sun puddle Spitty & that way you can tune out the human's comments.
Mebbe ya should go leave a little "runny" on her pillow. MOL!
ReplyDeletePoetry in (non) motion!
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy would say, "look at that ham"!
ReplyDeleteShe's SO NOT funny.
Smart choice. Sometimes it's better to ignore the humans.

Don't let her flip you over, Spitty.
ReplyDeleteHumans, with their weird, obscure sense of humor.
