Ozzy has a special meow that he reserves for travel: as soon as we put him in his carrier or into a vehicle, he starts with his hollowed-out, rounded, mournful rowr! This morning, he had an appointment with the groomer to be shaved, so Bear and I wrestled him into his fancy blue soft-shell carrier with the mesh windows, backpack-style straps, and suitcase-style wheels and retractable handle. Of course, as soon as the zipper is shut on him, he starts his travel-meow. And as Bear and I are putting on our shoes, he has a little freak-out, rattling and bumping his carrier.
"Watch out Oz," Trent warned him, "You're going to fall on your face."
Sure enough, moments later, his carrier fell forward on its mesh-windowed front with Ozzy still inside. For a second, he was silent and still, then came the muffled complaint from inside the bag: "Ow!"
Bear and I looked at each other and chuckled a bit, and for a long moment, Ozzy was quiet and still in the overturned carrier. Then, clear as day, he called out to us (presumably to make sure we hadn't abandoned him in that undignified and helpless position):
"... Hel-lo?..."

Ok, it turns out that you can't get the words "crazy", "insane" or "pompous" to sound like sounds a cat would make... But maybe Marlow said it. I can picture it...
"Bark..Bark..Rooo.rooo..Crrrrasryy
..Roo!"
Hmm, your dog suddenly became Scooby-Doo

Yeah--that'll happen sometimes. She also tends to sound like the dog from the Jumbone commercial with the Jersey accent.
