Do you have conversations with your cats?

I talk to the kitties all the time.

Clover and Lu are usually the only ones who talk back.. Sometimes Sassy will. Stinky never does..

You mean there are people who don't?

I am guilty-as charged!! I always talk to my kittys...why not!?! And sometimes they talk back, sometimes they dont-ya know, like a kid!!

I only get answered by Bayley, Harley isn't much of a talker, unless he wants to go outside on the patio with me to watch the birdies!

I talk to Lisa and when I do, she has that look on her face like she's trying to say to me: 'Are you stupid, I don't understand English!'

Most definitley! Tiger... My poly is the most vocal cat I ever encountered... If you walk past him he shouts at you! I tell him I don't like his attitude and we need to talk about it so we do! He is too cute... My bf (the owner of our poly) gets so frustrated by how much our cat talks and yells... I love it! My kitten is a squueker and a yelper... We also talk!

All of the time! They love the sound of my voice and I live alone, so I chatter away at them throughout the day, LOL

Haha, yes!

I got up early this morning to go to the bathroom, and when I went back to bed Sonic was curled up in the middle of my duvet. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Sonic, come on my little lovey, move over so I can get back in bed
Sonic: Mrrrrrrrgrrrrworrrrrreaow (grumbly grumbly cat noise)
Me: Come on now, move over a bit (gently pushes cat)
Sonic: MRRRRRRGGRRRRRWORRRRRREAOW
Me: Shush, you'll wake Nate up, come on you wee horror, move over (gently pushes cat again)
Sonic: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Me: Ok, ok, you stay there, just let me get on the edge of the bed... no no, it's ok you don't have to move. I can balance here just fine.

And with Radar (the quiet one) this morning while I was making a cup of tea:

Me, putting empty cup on counter: Hello Radeybum, who's my bestest boy?
Radar: ?
Me: No no no, I don't need you to help me turn on the tap.
Me: Ok, have a drink
Me: Don't flick water on me with your paw. Out of the way, I want to fill the kettle
Me: Radar get your head out of the kettle you silly boy!
Radar: ?
Me: Yes, it's a box of teabags. Ok, have a sniff at the teabags (holds box out so Radar can sniff)
Me: Radey, that's the same teabag you just sniffed, it's just in the mug now
Me: OK that's enough, get your head out of my mug. You've seen my mug before
Me (holding Radar back while I pour the hot water): This is hot, do not, I repeat DO NOT try to lick it
Radar: ?
Me: Come on then, all done, I'm going back to the sitting room now
Radar: (thundering of kitty feet doing a good impersonation of a herd of stampeding elephants and trying to trip me while I'm carrying a mug of boiling water)
Me: Radar, BE CAREFUL THIS IS HOT! (Removes cat hair from tea before drinking)

Don't you just love having kitty help in the kitchen?

Oh yes, we converse frequently! Pearl usually initiates the discussion with a very direct, but courteous, "Mew!" usually delivered directly into my ear as I'm sleeping.

Me: Mew?

Pearl: Mew!

Me: Meeee-ew?

Pearl: Meeee-EW!

Me: Mmmmm...ew?

Pearl: Mmmmm...EW!

Me: Mew. Mew, mew mew.

Pearl: MEW!!!

Of course, Pearl's saying, "Dangle the Pink String, Mama!" And I'm stalling with questions like, "The Pink String? Really? You mean right now? Well, gosh, I don't know, is 4:00am really the best time?"

Which elicits that final brusque rejoinder, "MEW!!!" -- the unmistakable command of the sovereign.

I sure do! Sometimes I'll tell Danny about my day or what I'm thinking of. Others we will have more of a "conversation" although it seems his part consists mostly of "Why?":

Danny Can I go out? (On a leash only.)

Me: Not right now.

Danny Why?

M Because it is raining.

D Why?

M Because the water that evaporates rises to the point where it condenses ...

Well you get the picture!

.... Wait a minute, did I just type that out loud?

I do all the time. Especially, when they know they are in trouble! I keep asking them why they insists upon behaving badly, but the only response I get is the looking cute response!

of course! i talk to my animals all the time- they're my family and they always have something intersting to yap or bark back at me

it gets scary cause alot of the time, i think i know what heyu is complaing about.

Funny.... my two only talk to me when there's food involved!

Tosca does tend to trill a lot - she's been coming more and more out of her shell ever since we got her two years ago.

Bootie mi-ows at us.... she can't miaow in one single sound, she breaks it down into two syllables! It's so cute!
