Musa nodded sagely. That made sense. They had heard that any number of ridiculous things were illegal there, and in other places in the world. Their knowledge was fragmented, derided mostly from magazines articles--the farm owners received farming magazines and The National Geographic, old ones of which they were often willing to let Musa read. Their knowledge was mostly focused on obscure cultures, miscellaneous animals, and farming equipment. And of course, everything they'd learned in 150 years in the wild, but that was sometimes more hindrance than help.
"My knowledge of the United States is very limited," they informed her. "But it seems like a very tense place that is uncertain as to what to do with the sheer size of its populace." That was probably because they'd read an article about how many people were hungry over there, which seemed somewhere between reasonable and silly. They had a lot of people, so it might be hard to keep everyone fed, but also, they had so much land, so it seemed like producing enough food shouldn't be an issue. They hadn't thought much of it, since it was outside the scope of what mattered to them.
"Anita Hart," she repeated happily, as if trying it on for size. "That is a very pretty name." They ran their limited etiquette knowledge through their mind before giving up and settling on her first name. "Anita, is your father from the United States, then? Are there many fewer lynxes there? Do they react strangely to tails? There is a human woman who works on the farm here, and the lack of tail threw me for the first three years. I still have trouble understanding what she's feeling," they admitted. "I've been told some women have similar problems with me, due to my lack of ears." They gestured vaguely towards their head. It made them come across as more stoic, apparently, or more masculine, to those concerned with such things. They seemed to use the terms interchangeably, frankly.
