Meowing is overrated.

I can't meow.  I probably used to be able to. But I stopped long before my new humans got me.  I have a really scratchy voice and can barely make a sound - but its never like a real meow.  Most of the time it doesn't matter that I can't make a peep.  But one time, my mommy accidently locked me in her closet because I snuck in there to investigate when she was getting ready for work. I could have really used a meow then. But, I went to sleep, and she eventually came home and let me out. At least this time, curiousity didn't kill that cat.
