does anyone else talk to their cat??


and i DONT mean 'hello / cutie' !! words i mean actual 'meows & noises' !!!! ????????

i dunno if its just me?!?! but i am quite good at making animal(!!!) noises & have manged to copy Elvis's meow & odd noises down to a T so i can 'talk' to him...

Taylor has a weird noise, he like gurgles & then do a little high pitch 'meow' very quickly after...now people normally think its him..but its me!! haha, and hell reply to me right away & we will carry on a 'convo'!!!

i also mange to 'talk' to cats when i see them out.........most of them tend to then follow me.......

this just me......................?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eva and I talk all the time, just ask Erin Eva can use some very foul language at times but is just too cute to resist talking with.
Bernie is the silent type unless he wants food or on your lap. He and Graham chat away though, or should I say Graham talks, Bernie listens patiently

Re: does anyone else talk to their cat??


I can imitate Darcy's meow perfectly, so much so that if I'm in the other room with him and OH is in the kitchen, if Darcy meows then I meow back, OH thinks it's Darcy the whole time

Both Darcy and Minsky have very particular meows, and Darcy's is easier to imitate. I haven't quite mastered Minsky's yet.

Darcy seems to really enjoy it when I meow back at him, and I've worked out what his different meows could mean. He's got a "give me attention!" meow, a "distressed, don't go to work!" meow, a "play with me " meow, a "feed me!" meow, and a general chatting meow. He loves to chat away to me.

So you're not alone!!

People tell me I'm quite good at imitating other things in general, like other people so I guess animals come into that too!

Absolutely! When Darcy wants attention his meows get louder and louder and very insistent, like "mmrrraaaoooWWWWW! mrraAAAOOOWWWWWWWW!" if I imitate them back he goes in a huff and hides behind the clothes line to wash himself.

Both of mine have such high-pitched meows for such big boys. Darcy quite often likes to make little croaky, shrot meows like "mra-a-a-a-a-row" and often does that whilst yawning, the cutest thing

Posh talks so of course we listen, we obey and we do it.
I talk, Posh pretends not to hear. I plead and Posh ignores me again. I ignore Posh, I get my trousers smacked and constant wailing until I listen. Life with cats...
