Data's "Ode to Spot", read by my Text Speaker software

Ode, to Spot by Data:

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature, an endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature? Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses, contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, a singular development of cat communications, that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection, for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; you would not be so agile, if you lacked its counterbalance. And, when not being utilized to aide in locomotion, it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display, connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true, and valued, friend.
