Jan 10, 1985 – She named the gray-and-white kitten “All Ball” as a joke, Cohn said. “The cat was a Manx and looked like a ball. Koko likes to rhyme words.”
A characteristic incident involved Koko and assistant Barbara Hiller. Koko was nesting with a number of white towels and signed, ‘that red’, indicating one of the towels. Barbara corrected Koko, telling her that it was white. Koko repeated her statement with additional emphasis, ‘that red’. Again Barbara stated that the towel was white. After several more exchanges, Koko picked up a piece of red lint, held it out to Barbara and, grinning, signed, ‘that red’.

…facts,facts,facts…
…how about some fake news…
…everyday you meet quite a few…
…if this was an orangutan there would be a president Trump joke in there somewhere…
…Dick Tracy and a sink ripping out kitten walk into a bar…
…I hate the way clicking on viewing a reply sends everything to the top of the screen…
…am I the only one that thinks it ironic that America bombs at an airport the same day Don Rickles dies?!?…
…now, that’s lobbing a zinger…

Of course the cat did it! Cats are the malignant familiars of the Evil Ones. Are you calling beloved Koko a liar?! For shame….

Look at that spoiled cat. After a tough day of ripping sinks out of walls, it gets tucked in snugly in silk sheets.
