Thats an easy one to answer. Whickas multi packs have the flavour printed on them in 4 languages. When I pick up a packet and ask her if she wants X flavour in English, there is no reaction. However, when I read the German word for X flavour, she goes mental.

I havent got as far as trying Spanish or French with her yet, she might actually explode.

hum i will try it on the dog in the morning she demands her food at 6am brill !!

I tend to use the word "Schnell" a lot when skiing in Austria, along with "Nein" and "los fahren" obviously used loudly and as formally as possible!!

I dont know about multilingual pets, but one of the squirels in our garden is a tea leaf. Pulled back the curtains this morning, the big window was oen and I caught the tail end of a squirel going out of the window with the stopper off one of my perfume bottles in his mouth.

I think squirrels are a delicacy in some countries, just an idea :shock:

My cat only knows 2 words, both English - 'tuna' and 'chicken' :cry:
