Explanation:

1. Based on B's answer "Kitten means 'baby cat.'", A is asking for the meaning, so the blank should be "does it mean".
2. Since B spells out "R - O - M - E - O", A is asking "do you spell it".
3. As B answers "He sleeps with me", A is inquiring "does he sleep".
4. A's "Yes, I do." is a response to a general question about having pets, so it should be "Do you have".
5. B asks about the type of pet, so the blank is "do you have".
6. A wants to know the English word for "loro", so it's "do you say".
7. Since A answers "His name is Chico", B is asking "is his name".
8. Given A's answer about the age, B is asking "is he".
9. Based on A's response about the lifespan, B is asking "do they live".
10. As A talks about the price range, B is asking "do they cost".
11. B is asking about the affectionate nature, so it's "Are parrots affectionate".
