My husband does his Chinese lessons every Saturday morning, and Pica, our cat always tries to join in, which his teacher finds hilarious. I guess she sees him struggling to make noises correctly and she's like "pfffth this is simple. I can make noises. Here I will do it for you: raw mrow raw! See? Like that!"
@futurebird Oh gosh that's adorable. We had a cat when I was a teenager who was always meowing along in his high-pitched meow when my sister and I were playing the flute, and putting his paws on the instruments 😹
