I have a really big white cat living with me.

q'osta:n ye: na'ułch'a:t ch'inehwa:n haya:ł

he looks like he's wearing a hat, and then

xongkin' q'ut me:ne:q'-ch'in'

on the back side of his back, on the very ridge of his back

tse:-q'i-ya:ng'ay ye: dahya:ng'ay nehwa:n

it's like a squirrel ("it sits up on a rock")

haya:ł tin ch'ingkya:w-xw xoke' 'e'n łiwhung-xw 'unt'e

he's also really big, and his tail is a dark color

haya:ł

and then

ch'e'iye'n miq'it-dahky'a:n-ding

he stands up at (beside) the table

xa'se'ina:wh ch'ite:'e'e'n

he gets up there and looks onto the table

xo'ji xoning' mitisdin-ding dahde'e'a' hayi-xw 'a:'ułkyoh

his face really comes up over it (the table) he's so big (that way)

'aht'ing-xw 'unt'e' ch'ohłts'it

he knows everything

ła'ading me'ch'e'na:wh me' yehch'e'ina:wh haya:ł

sometimes he goes into the bathroom, and also/then

hayah me'ch'e'ina:wh haya:ł 'a:xo'iłchwe'n do:ch'e'ilyo' dahch'ide'inła:t

he goes to the bathroom in there, then it smells bad and he doesn't like it, he runs away from it

hay whe: me'ch'e'na:wh-ding yehch'e'inła:t hayah

he runs into my bathroom there

haya:ł hay ch'ide'iłma:s, haya:ł yehye'iwhiwh-xwe: xowh do'n 'a:ch'o'one' do: xohsle'-te hay 'a:xołchwing-ne'in

he always flushes it, it sucks it in, he always thinks the smell will be no more

haya:ł me'ch'ixine:wh dahsa'a:n me' ła'ading xoch'ing' xine'iwhye:wh haya:ł

and then, the telephone sitting up there, I talk to him in it sometimes

ch'ite'ilda:wh hayah ch'ine'itsa:t ch'ine:'ił'e'n

he comes running in, he sits down, he looks at the phone

do: ch'ohłts'it hay xwe:di-q'-xw hayah me' siwhday

he doesn't know how I can be in that phone

haya:ł na:ne'iwhda:wh ch'iwhine:'ił'e'n ting haya:ł hayi q'in' tin ch'ine:'ił'e'n 'a:ch'o:'ine' xowh do'n

when I return home, he keeps staring at me, and then also he stares at that (phone) and I guess that he's thinking

xwe:di-gya'awh-'ung hayah me' ch'e'ida' haya:ł ch'e:na'ida:wh haya:ł na'ne'ida:wh

she's in there, and then she comes back out, and then she comes back home

ch'o:ne'-tah xowh do'n do: 'o:lts'it

he thinks, it could be, it's not known for sure (what he's thinking) (I guess that's what he thinks)

haya:ł mina:t [sida:-dun'] dahsehł'un-ne'in

I used to have the answering machine sitting beside it

na:ła' yiwiding-hit niwinchwe'n

the other thing, after awhile it got no good (he wore it out)

hayah miq'it no:de'itul haya:ł k'iye-de' yixe'ine:wh xoch'in'

he puts his paw up on it, every now and then it (machine) talks to him

haya:ł dungwho'-tah na:łiwun ch'ixe'ine:wh hay 'aht'ing xwe:da'ay na:de'e'a'

then, somebody (strange person) calls, he always listens to everything (all the messages)

mine:jixo-mił do: nulte' sile'n de:din' na:ła' na:y'a'

after awhile it's not working anymore, as for now, I purchased another one

haya:ł hayi midiłwa: dahsa'a:n hayi 'e'n 'ahtin łe:xot'e:n nehwa:n

and now in its place (instead, rather) a different machine is sitting there, it's all the same color

haya:ł do: ch'ohłts'it hayi xwe:di xowh ye: 'a'ulah-te: haya:ł hayi ...

he doesn't know what he's going to do with it, and then that

... diwine'-te haya:ł 'e'n q'ut xwe:da'ay na:de'e'a' xowh do'n

it's going to play, but then I guess he goes ahead and listens to it anyway

dungwho' ch'ixe'ine:wh do: siwhda:-ding

somebody calls when I'm not home

haya:ł hay whe: xoch'in' xine'iwhiye:wh-ding 'e'n

when I talk to him

haya:ł hayah ya'a'a' ch'ine:'ił'e'n xwe:di-gya'awh-'ung ch'o'ine'

and then he sits there and looks at (the phone), he always thinks/wonders what's going on

haya:ł na:ne'iwhda:wh xonist'e' na:xwe'itiniwh haya:ł

and then I come home, and he becomes happy

hayi-xw wha:ne

and that's it (end of story)
