              If you are able to get food with less work than your cat then I’m either jealous of your life or worried about your cat.

                How would the cat know how the food gets there? The human leaves, they come back with food. That would be a great “be careful what you wish for” wish.

    Technically it can already talk using its own language.

    To talk with human words requires a bump in intelligence which would end up in severe depression once it realises the dynamics of ifs existence.

    As you didn’t wish for that intelligence you’re now stuck with a dog that barks with human vocal cords. Its first wish was made using body language for the genie to pet them. The second wish was to trow a stick.

      To talk with human words requires a bump in intelligence which would end up in severe depression once it realises the dynamics of ifs existence.

      A bump up in intelligence that allows for speech, doesn’t mean it inherently becomes aware of all the existential dread in the universe or becomes unhappy with its station.
