Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


I don't meow back to Beauty (Beauty can't really meow properly anyway) but I'm very good at talking to the college guinea pigs in their language

I talk to Beauty in english though!

Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


I stick to English! Had a disastrous episode once when I first met my buddy's new blue Persian kitten. This was when I had my Siamese, and prided myself I spoke good Siamese, so greeted Sheba...she got a look of shock and horror on her little face,,,,and never liked me for the rest of her life! God knows what I said! We laughed about that for years ...

I not only talk to Leia, I read the stocks and the weather to her every afternoon after lunch .... and no, I am not a crazy cat lady!

Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


Alfie is a very quiet cat so we tend to just have an 'esp' thing going on.

Kinsi when she is tired cuddles up and purrs with intermittent miaows. I miaow back at her (more a mirp/purr really) Last few days she's started to reply.

My cat Misty and I used to talk to each other all the time.

Yes, we probably are mad, but who cares.

Smudge and I meow at each other but she gives me withering looks so I don't think my accent is very good.
I swear sometimes when we have locked the cat door and she is cross she marches up to me and says 'me out'

dont think we are mad!! quite normal!!

although the plumber told me that i was a bit odd...to even have a cat! he said 'cats are rubbish get a real pet...a dog!' said that to me in my house! in front of Tay!! i was like 'no cats are great' so I purposely picked up Tay and was like 'ooo snuggle bum bum meowwwwww, chirp woowoo!!' doing his noises" then tay stole something from his tool box n run off! i was like 'ohh your soo naughty *giggles...not really i mean funny*' dont tell nasty old plumber that though!

Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


I talk kitty talk to my cats all the time. I can imitate Miw perfectly most of the time......though I can't imitate her meowy bark (not sure why she barks.....but she does when she gets really excited LOL!!). And Miw must always know what I'm talking about when we "meow chat" because she listens quite intently and responds.

Not so good at imitating Mouse, she's a bit squeaky (which is why her name is Mouse LOL!) and I must say things wrong to her because when I try to "meow talk" with her, she runs off like a crazy thing (likely to go laugh at me behind my back!)

Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


We must try and all record our cats meows on camera and post them up! I love how varied they can be. I've never heard a meow like Minsky's. It's high pitched, and very 'gurggly' as if it's coming from the back of his throat, and SO loud
