She’d Rather Be Cat-atonic

(My dog has recently had puppies. We have been selling them throughout the week.)

Woman: “So, how do I know what it wants?”

Me: “It should tell you.”

Woman: “But they don’t speak!”

Me: “True, but you can train them to let you know if something is wrong or needed. Even if you don’t, you will eventually learn how to attract each others attention, like an unspoken language.”

Woman: “I don’t like the sound of that. It sounds like something a crazy pet owner would say. I don’t want one now.” *leaves*

(I saw her a month later taking her new cat to the vet. She was really smug about how it didn’t matter what they both did, as long as the cat was fed it would completely ignore her, and she it. Makes me wonder why she even wanted a pet.)
