Me: Tam, you can't sit on the keyboard.
Tam blinks at me, but remains sitting, purring.
Me: OK, obviously you *can*. But you mustn't. You shouldn't.
Tam, still purring, gets up and jumps off the desk.
Sometimes he scares me.

It's true: Siamese cats can be smug and persnickety grammarians. What's worse is one I had who critiqued my math. Insufferable!
He's scary smart, in a lot of ways. Sometimes he uses multi-syllable meows to try to explain things to me. It sounds freakishly like he's attempting human speech.
And the last time he had to go to the vet, the tech who was looking at him turned away for just a second, and he jumped from the exam table to the storage cabinet/sink, pulled open a drawer, and started rummaging through the contents. Brat. But a clever brat.

A good reason to have dogs.

Neat kitty.
