“When this deaf man's cat realized that meowing was useless, he learned to communicate with him through signs.”

"He is teaching the cat how to sign, and he's doing an excellent job. When the cat gets his attention (by tapping his arm) he ask if it wants to eat, by signing the word "food" (putting fingers together and tapping them to his lips), the cat tries to mimic the movement with it's paw, and when it does it correctly, he feeds it."

– Anna de Noailles, tr. by Norman R. Sharpiro, from "Your Hidden Fleshly Grace"
