Me-usings and Me-emories

19 Jan 2026 - "Would you mind repeating that?"  A cat wouldn't ask that question because it had not heard the comment... possibly because the statement was hard to believe and the cat wanted to make that very point.  Here's an example:  "did you see that squirrel?!"  Of course I did, and in all likelihood was aware of its passage past this window long before the speaker spied it.  At times like these it is fortunate that a language barrier exists.  "Well, duh!" exclaimed several times in a day might not be well received.
