Gab Fest
snip
If she says something to you and you respond, you can elicit the most extraordinary range of vocalizations, along with appropriate facial expressions, from her. I am not the only person who can chat with her for twenty minutes at a time without ever getting bored. She's a better conversationalist than a lot of the people I know!
Gabby especially likes to visit with me when I am soaking in the bathtub. She sits on the side of the tub and discusses everything from politics to literature with me. (She also likes to gossip about the other animals that live with us, but I never repeat what she says.)
And of course I talk back. Because I try to use as wide a range of tone and pitch as she does, our conversations can become quite animated.
One evening, I was soaking in the tub and carrying on at some length with Gabby, without realizing that a friend of mine had let himself into the apartment and was waiting in the living room for me.
I finished my bath, dried off and dressed, conversing with Gabby the whole time. Then I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, and there was my friend standing in the living room, with a very strange expression on his face.
"Who were you talking to in there?" he asked.
At that moment, Gabby marched into the hallway beside me, looked right at Michael, and said, "Mrrreeowww?"
