Ollie was more talkative (meowative?) than Cleo. Quite often, he would stand in front of Mom and/or me and make a speech.
"Meow, meow, meow, meow," and so on.
"Meow, meow, meow, meow," and so on.
When he finished, Cleo would give one single "Meow."
I used to say, "Ollie does the invocation and Cleo does the 'amen'. "
