Listen up, Odairi the cat has something to say
If you were around in the early 1960s, you will surely remember a doll named Chatty Cathy. The way she worked was that you would pull a string in her back and she would chat with you, saying things like: “Let’s play house,” “Please change my dress” or “Tell me a story” — all in a sweet lilting accent from the American Deep South. It was high-tech for those days.
