My old cat is very chatty, he knows the tone of a question and will always respond. He is grateful and says his version of thank you after being fed, petted, groomed, taken outside on his leash for a little walk-about. If someone sneezes, he know a 'bless you' is in order and does his cat version of that. If meal is a tad late, we hear about AND he will loudly rearrange his food bowls while singing the song of his hungry people.
