yeah yeah yeah, we've all got smart pets (even the dumb ones), but what vital things would you convey to them in their language if you had a very small window of time to do so?
I'd say "The dog won't chase you if you don't run."
The cat would say, "I know that, but more importantly, when are you going to start filling our bowls with those yummy Friskies treats? How hard can it be? That's why God gave you thumbs!"
