    We woke up to a burst pipe blasting hot water out in our flat once.

    Only reason we woke up was thanks to our beautiful orange cat yelling at us practically in plain English

      I’m imagining a cockney cat going “Meoi mate, there’s a bursting pipe 'o wa’er in yer kitchen!”

      I’ve told people before that my old cat had actually vocalized something very close to ‘help!’ when his litter box was full, multiple times, and once when he got either one of his claws or duclaw stuck in some fabric covered furniture so well that he could not free himself from it.

      I’d raised him nearly from birth, and talked to him like he was not an idiot.

      But people tend to look at me like I’m an idiot when I tell them that.
