Trilingual?

Annabelle has been telling people very matter-of-fact lately that she is bilingual, as she knows a few dozen Spanish words as well as English.

This morning she asked me what it was called if you spoke 3 languages. Not quite knowing what to say, I said “Trilingual?” She said “Yes, I am trilingual. I speak English, Spanish and Cat”.

The rest of the morning while we were trying to get out the door she kept asking if I had anything to tell Fleury. Then she would pick him up, look right in his eyes and say “meow, meow, meow, meow”, then come back and tell me what he had said in response, because I wouldn’t know, I don’t speak fluent Cat.

I firmly believe the fates sent this patient, loving kitten to our porch, on that snowy day, for reasons that seem to reveal more and more. Aside from being just the loveliest pet he now is expanding our language.
