If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell, about Della and the Dealer and the dog as well. But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word...
If some animal wants to be rude, I'll probably forgive the animal. It's not like they've got no excuse.

What a terrible bait topic. To ruin it if they could talk the animals would develop preferences on what to be rude about. They would gain enough intelligence to discern complex ideas. They would be rude based off abstract reasons that do not always have a definite answer. Likewise, some you think that might be rude could be very nice. It depends how well we could communicate with them. If they can learn to cooperate with us or not. Everyone has their take on that in movie and fiction. Maybe one day if not now a real thing?
Lemurs is fast becoming a favorite and topical metaphor.

It's not bait, it's a fun discussion because this is the Off-Topic forum.

if ants spoke, we would all be deaf. It’s a proverb to remember.
