Blessing your cat

[cat52]

I guess we're all dorks together - my cats have learned that "Excuse me" means to stay still while I step over them, and I bless'em when they sneeze, and - oh well, etc. etc., pretty much a running monologue with them, punctuated by meows....

I caught myself saying "bless you" once to my cat when he sneezed and I laughed to myself about it but I still say it.

I talk to my cats like they're people so why not?

BTW, our hearts don't stop when we sneeze. That would be pretty scary lol.

"Gesundheit". Yes. Though I'm not sure that's a blessing, more of a well wish than anything...

I'm another guilty one

I do it all the time, DH says "Did you say something?" My response, I was just talking to the kitties!!

Me too - they've got to learn manners from somewhere, after all!

I bless the doggies when they sneeze too! I think it's sweet.

That's what I usually do.

It isn't, but that's what is said in place of "bless you".

I always say it at work, but don't usually get a response because most don't know what it means.
