Years ago, we taught our cat to run and hide at the sight of a sword. And yes, he deserved it (He attacked us, attacked the dog, and peed in the baby's bed. I would've sent him to Kitty College, but he never did comprehend the concept of sliding glass doors. I had a kitten like that. Smacked into the glass door once (was right out of Bugs Bunny) After that he would stop and stick his paw through first, even if another cat had just gone through.

Anyway, on the original topic...
A cat earns a GED from a diploma mill? Who cares about that, Kent Hovind did that a few years ago. *Rimshot*

I see you have made this claim without even bothering to look for examples of cats that can allegedly speak limited English. You're probably going to justify this with "common sense." In other words, you're making an unsupported generalization.
The people who are defending Skyfire are doing it with one idea in mind: Just because Skyfire says it, that doesn't make it wrong.

Oh, yeah talking cats. See them all the time...
Isn't it the responsibility of the person making the extraordinary claim to provide the proof?

I've already asked Skyfire to provide proof, & deemed a YouTube video of what I believe is The Planet's Funniest Animals unsatisfactory.
Thing is, there's a difference between demanding proof of an extraordinary claim & dismissing a statement out of hand because:
1. It's weird. 2. It's Skyfire.

My cat has yet to realize that carpet is not edible. I'm not sure how that compares to your cats. He's a good kitty cat.

He's slightly more retarded than my cat.

So do mine, if you count throwing their food dishes across the room because I accidentally bought the wrong food. Hey Science Diet light, and Science Diet light hairball look like the same bag! Obviously not the same food.

Obviously not the same food. that's the sort of thing I was getting at. Now, I subscribe to the notion that some cats are smarter than others. I have one cat who can open any door that doesn't require thumbs (like, say, due to a locking mechanism), does tricks, and seems to know how to react to a few dozen different words. And I have another who still can't figure out she shouldn't shit in the middle of the floor. But even the first cat does it as rote behaviour. I mean, I'm as guilty of anyone when it comes to anthrorphisising my pets, but there has to be some point at which reality intrudes on our emotions. Though I talk to inanimate objects, so I can't judge.

It's hard to put human intelligence on animals. Is the animal smart or is it a learned behavior? The stray cat I took care of attacked itself in the miror, I think eventually he figured out it was a reflection and would go there when we put stuff on him. He would get free ice cream from the ice cream truck and chased the truck down when she didn't see him. You have to cats go after the same mouse the smarter cat may catch it first. The dog that runs into a tree chasing a squirrel, not so smart, the dog that cuts off the squirrel and backs it into a corner, smart.
