Whiskers has always been your devoted feline companion, following you around the house with a loyalty that borders on the uncanny. Yet, lately, you've caught glimpses of oddities in Whiskers' behavior. It started with the way he brought you an article from the newspaper, the only time he ever took interest in anything beyond catnip and food. Recently, during one of your conversations, you could've sworn he was intently listening, nodding in agreement to your worries. It was unnerving, as if he could truly understand every word you spoke, not just a pet hearing sounds.
