Yes they think their animals understand English. they were also standing in the waY But i am a kind person bit like Dennis Hopper describing Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz in the motion picture Apocalypse Now (redux or otherwise) directed by Francis Ford Coppola

John Searle's dogs were conscious. Jeff Hinton once famously lost patience with Searle who was more than somewhat annoying in a debate about connectionism/AI. Searle - Are you saying my dog is not conscious? Hinton - no I am saying dogs are not conscious, but I am willing to accept your dog is

Somebody I didn't know very well once looked at me quizzically in the street and said 'Did you just speak to that cat in French?'.

In which country was the street you were in, and in what language did the person ask you that question (in case the quotes are figurative rather than literal)?

Scotland and French. Quite weird. I knew she spoke German and didn't realised I'd addressed the cat in the Language of Lurrrve..
That is I knew I'd addressed the cat. I'm not mad.

Yes. I ran into this problem in Overlander. Had to discard a section because the quoted dialogue would have been translated and therefore untrue.

@IWRATS, if only you has asked John Searle about this problem he would have given you an incomprehensible answer you can just say "[in French] This is not a love song"

What kind of monster doesn't talk to cats and dogs?

I got to feed treats to a lovely ridgeback vizsla in John Leslies last night.
Its owner was a cheerful Geordie who may have been slightly nasally overstimulated.

@LaidBack good photographing. I spotted similar antics at the Meadows the other week but forgot to report back.

Good pun to start with. Hard to know whether they should try to continue with other beasts or knock it on the head,
Al Pacacino from the Godfather could join in? He is on side of buses at moment though the series is causing some furore.

Wrongly posted in wildlife thread...
Walking through below Craigmillar Castle and met two lads being followed by a white cat with a harness for lead. Moved along 30 feet behind - from a distance it looked like a dog.
Has this cat with attitude been spotted before? Know of cats that will follow owners at distance along wall etc but this one was following in park on the ground.

@LaidBack
There is a family walks their dog in Inch Park and their cats follow at a distance if in the mood for it.
When I was a teenager I discovered our cat would come about 500m from the house with me on still summer nights. Hard border though - wouldn't take one step further.

I lived in Royal Terrace once which backs on to sizable gardens, halfway up Calton Hill. There was a cat in the house (Gandalf), a bruiser of a beast, that you could walk around the park.
Gandalf was a legend - once leaving a squirrel tail on the floor, one Christmas Day dragging in a pigeon, being seen jumping out of the hotel next door with a string of sausages in his mouth and when evil Toms invaded via the cat flap, would wake up the man of the house to see them off.

Passed a group of four lassies on ponies up on the flanks of Capelaw Hill. Turned out that they were from the uni trekking club. Nice change to see them being ridden, as opposed to loafing around in their paddock near Old Swanston.
