¡Voy a saltarme! A menos que mi dueño haga algo con ese perro estúpido.
I'm going to jump! Unless my owner does something with that stupid dog.
Por favor, Sr. Gato, no lo hagas. Te queda mucho por vivir.

Tú dices que los ruidos que hago te mantienen despierto toda la noche. You say the noises I make keep you awake all night.

Why are you on my windowsill?
¿Por qué está en mi alféizar?
Cat looking disdainfully at man: ''Well, what are you staring at, man? Didn't you realize [that] I was planning my great escape!''
-- Gato mirando hombre desdeñosamente: ''Bueno, ¿Qué miras, tío? ¿No te diste cuenta de que estaba planeando mi gran huida!''
huida o escapada o fuga (?)
Editor's note/s; The cat is trying to escape from his ''cruel'' owner and is worried that this other neighbour in the picture might ''let the cat out of the bag'' (Sorry, I couldn't resist that one! 
) concerning his planned escape/reveal what he was going to do! lol Additionally I have the cat using/adopting the familiar form of the verb to imply that he was intentionally speaking disrespectfully to the man.
I'd like to sit on his head and wrap my tail around his neck but it's too slippery, I'd fall off.
Me gustaría sentarme en su cabeza y envolver mi cola alrededor de su cuello pero es demasiado resbaladizo. Me caería.
¿estás hablando a mi? ¿estás hablando a mi?
AC: ¿Hablas conmigo? ¿Hablas conmigo?
Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?
Hi, Mister - Do you have a bird I can borrow? Mine got away and I'm hungry.
Hola, señor - ¿Tienes un pájaro que me puedo pedir prestado? La mía se escapó y tengo hambre.
