What to you is a sign that you either have lost it or are close to losing it?
I told everybody about our cat, well we also have a stray cat that we feed every day, we call him Garfield because he's all orange, and he's younger than our kitty. We don't know where he lives but my mom thinks he has a home, but he still comes around every day to get fed. He is a bit different from our kitty, he doesn't talk.
Well a couple of weeks ago my mom was out in the yard having just fed him, and he started stalking across to the next yard screaming 'Ma-ma! Ma-ma!' and she turned to him and said 'what is it?' when it hit her she was talking to the damn cat! If it was ours that'd be one thing because she does talk and she says 'Mo-mmy!', but to be talking to a cat who never talks and is all of a sudden screaming for his mama, or for A mama, it's out there in my book.
