[ WP ] Dogs are now super intelligent . Some things are awkward now .

`` Hey. What are you thinking about?'' My human pets my ears, careful to avoid the device that has been implanted into my skull and overflows it. 
 
 The voice that emanates from that thing is not my voice, but the words are mine. `` I was thinking about Shadow.'' Shadow is my cat. He has long hair and a crooked tail and wrestles with me the way my human will not. 
 
 She does a face. I know that face. It is the face she does when she is sad. She looks away from me. `` I'm sorry.'' 
 
 I do not understand why she is sorry. She did not break any of the rules. The trash is not gotten into, there is no pee on the rug, everything is ok. I lay my head on her lap and lick her arm. `` Do you want to go to the park?'' The park is outside. Outside is the best play in the world. Besides inside. 
 
 She shakes her head. Human for `` no''. `` I'm sorry.'' She says again. 
 
 I put my paw on her belly. `` It is ok. I still love you.'' 
 
 `` Can we get a new cat?'' I ask. I like Shadow. She said he is dead, which means we can not play anymore. I do n't know why Shadow would be dead, because he likes playing with me, but cats are not like dogs and sometimes they are confusing. The other cats, that my human's family has, do not play with me. `` I mean can we get a new kitten?'' You have to get a kitten or it will not play. Grown up cats are mean. Maybe that is what she means. Maybe Shadow is just not a kitten anymore. I would still want to try to play, but he has not come home since he became dead. 
 
 She shakes her head, and her eyes make water in them. `` No.'' Her voice is a sad voice. 
 
 `` I want a kitten.'' I say, and roll so she has to pet my belly. `` Please? They have a lot of them at the place we got Shadow. I remember there were three of them.'' 
 
 `` That was two years ago.'' 
 
 I do not understand. Maybe after two years kittens grow up to be dead cats? `` Where do new kittens come from? We can go there.'' 
 
 `` No, Jet. No kittens. No cats. No.'' She has an angry voice and she gets up and walks away. She walks to the kitchen so I get up too so I can have food too, but she does n't make food. She just looks at everything weirdly, and then presses her hands flat on the counter. `` I'm sorry.'' She says again. `` I thought it would make you happier, both of you.'' 
 
 `` I am happy, except you are not happy.'' I say. `` Can we go to the park? I want to pee on everyone's pee.'' 
 
 Her eyes make water like she is sad but her mouth does a smile like she is happy. She laughs and wipes her nose. `` Yeah.'' She says. `` Yeah let's go to the park.''
