My husband (DH) works from home, and he was on the phone to a client last week when Yukon got in a "Mood" and started pacing and yelling. Those who have seen Yukon's picture understand that a Very Large siamese yelling is a significant sound. Yukon wandered into the office and hollered from the top of the filing cabinet, something like, "MerroOOoowwwrrr, MerrrrRROOoowwwwrrr".

DH tried valiantly to ignore Yukon and carry on in a normal tone of voice. There was a brief gap in the conversation, which Yukon filled rather loudly. The fellow at the other end paused for a few moments, then enquired, "Do you have a Siamese cat there?"
DH paused and replied, "Why, yes, I do".

You know it's bad when...
