My car refused to pay attention to me until I learned to speak cat.
Anybody who has ever kept a cat know this. We let our charming little furball out daily to sharpen her claws, get her greens and briefly climb a tree in the front yard.
When it is time to come in the wife calls her and sometimes she comes and sometimes just climbs the tree a little higher. But let Mrs. Vigilanteman bring out the hose or the water bottle and cat races in before you can pull the trigger.
Must have been a Dodge Cougar. I had a Buick Wildcat and it never listened to me!
