Alexis: pet me, love me, don't groom me, play tug with me, pet me, pet me, pet me, why can't I sleep on the bed every night? Why do I have to share my life with these other bitches? Where is that wonderful little boy that I love (my nephew)?
Vala: ball, ball, toy, toy, can we go outside and play, ball, ball, toy, toy, OH GOD I am starving, feed me, feed me, love me for 10 seconds and then feed me feed me, ball ball ball. Oh, OK, I'll go veg out on the couch for awhile.
Deja: You ready to go do something yet? Can we go outside and do something NOW? Come on mom, I want to go hunt mice. Let's go for a run. Here, let me jam this toy into you. I HATE the computer. Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, oh a kitty, Sean, Sean, Sean (Sean is our helper).
Elena: Hey mom, you going to feed me? I know you are going to give me a treat. Time to feed me? OK, then can we go outside so I can harass my mother. No, I rather you feed me.
