A talking cat

How well can your cat read Robin?

My cats are working on installing a stroker kit in the 2zz-ge engine of their Elise, but they are having trouble reading the shop manuals I downloaded for them, and I've already told them that there is no way I'm going to pay a shop to do it for them. (Unfortunatly my cats don't read so well, they thought they could have figured it out with the pictures, and they don't trust me to wrench on their Lotus).

My cat Smitten wants to know if you cat would be willing to translate toyota shop manuals for the 2zz-ge engine for them. Smitten said that he would be willing to pay in birds, mice, or catnip, which ever your cat would prefer, with a chipmunk thrown in as a bonus for speedy translation.

My cat does not think this makes sense. Do Toyota make Lotus's?

Cats are capable of traveling through time at will. (This is often why they seem to forget that you've fed them an hour ago.) I mean, my cat's been involved in all the great assassinations of history, from JFK to Julius Ceasar. My other cat was actually the snake who tempted Eve. Which is more plausible as a temptation? A snake or a cute fluffy kitty playing under a tree with an apple?

Puss: It is manifestly obvious that a cat was responsible for the creation of the Universe. What creature not of the feline persuasion could construct a world so beautiful, so sublime, and so utterly callous towards the feelings of humans?
 
Robin said:
My cat speaks perfect English.

Proof:
1. Nobody can prove that my cat cannot speak perfect English
2. It is irrational to assert as true something that cannot be proven
3. The conclusion that my cat cannot speak perfect English is therefore irrational
4. Therefore the rational conclusion is that my cat can speak perfect English.

By that logic, I speak every language on earth.

Awesome! I should get a job with the UN.

And at least Puss presents evidence. MdC, maybe Puss should get a handle on this problem before English speaking cats start filling his niche.

ETA: I win. Proof by post edit.

Well, I could, and last time I checked I wasn't feline...

Maybe it's just the influence of all my cats...

Oh well then I suppose that my cat is not qualified to translate the workshop manual.

Sorry if it is topic drift, (as bmillsap has pointed out Lotus has used the Toyota engine for the latest Elise the rover power plant that Lotus had used could not be made to pass US emissions).

The shop manuals I have are in English, not Japanese if that helps.

Smitten D. Kitten was wondering if the people (and felines, no canines please) responding to this thread thought that if assuming condition #2 of the OP, and given that any information pertaining to the engine of the car is merely perception dependent on our mind(s) and not proven true, could he achieve the same increase in torque by just believing really firmly that he has installed a supercharger in his car, as he could by actually installing one?

If so does anyone have a recommended brand for him to pretend that he has installed?

Hmm ... Wasn't it the Egyptians who first started cat worship?

Poor Scot, he does not have his Funk & Wagnalls at the ready, so I have repaired his post as follows:

"I wish I could say the same for my dog, but he often his sentences ends a preposition with."

You're welcome. :)

Correction of my English is something up with which I will not put.

I am specifically referring to a carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae who speaks the common language of the modern British Isles.
