'round midnight

Funny story my mom related to me.

She has a black cat named Midnight. He's quite the talker.

One day, my mom was working out in the yard, and Midnight was in the house by himself. Apparently... her friend Cathy called. Well, Midnight somehow was able to brush by the phone, knocking over the receiver. Cathy said, "Hello?" and Midnight merrowed back. This went back and forth a few times until Cathy finally gave up. Of course, my mom didn't find out until later told by Cathy...

So there you have it... cats really do talk on the phone.
