Do you have cats? Had have you ever had cats?
There have been times I've wanted 8, but only because I wish I could explain to them why, or tell them how much I love them. But I'm also convinced that, like a 4 y/o, you could explain why without them either caring or really understanding, and I'm also pretty sure now I know how to let them know I love them in ways they already understand. And I think I already understand most of what they're saying. So I feel as if 8 would be a waste.
I lived with domesticated and street cats for most of my childhood. Where I am from is filled with cats basically. It is indeed easy to understand basic stuff but the range of cat characteristics is so varied that I always imagined it would be really fun to be able to talk to them.
And that's cool; they're your pills, and we could even trade services. The occasional communication would be interesting. I just (personally) already get enough of the "I'm hungry" yowl, and don't really need to be hearing it in English all the time.
