I would have liked the cat conversation as well!
Mine with our cat goes something like this:
Me: Meewww?
Tabitha: Meow!
Me: PRRRRR!
Tabitha: PRRRRR!
Me: Meowwwwrrr!
Tablitha: Mewwww?
Very much reminiscent of the [ancient] ELIZA program. I have little idea
what's actually being communicated other than it causes vocal response,
forepaw kneading, dancing and prancing around, and rubbing up against
anything and everything solid enough to rub up against during the variety
of vocalizations.
You've done well in the campaign so far, but advise against declaring
complete victory until a few days from now after the camera has arrived and
she's seen it in all its glory as you unpack it. [John has seen a few folks
get into trouble by not saying enough; there's a delicate balance between
the two.]
You could do a documentary of setting up her new computer with it!
