i have two cats, "mini" & "chuck" i talk to (more like AT) them all the time and get a real kick out of it, i mostly say things that would ofend them if they understood english. maybe this should
be in the "too much information" thread but i got a hunch i'm not alone here. if not this belongs in the "self pity" thread.
uh boy, this will crapout quick.

I call one of my cats "boogie" sometimes, I don't think he knows what it means


... It was like the First time I ever tried Cheetos.

"filthy bastard" is a favorite of mine, it's said with love though.
even on the street if i see a dog or a rat i have some urge to talk at them.

I talk to/at my cats all the time - maybe it's a sign that I spend too much time alone with them, but it's a family trait, so hardly a new thing. Apart from that they miaow back at me when I talk to them so it's not a one sided conversation in the slightest.
My last cat, Cow used to follow me to the corner shop and to the railway station in the morning and used to freak out if I stopped talking to him along the way.

(To clarify the freaking out bit - he'd sit down and miaow like he was dying or in great pain).

I call Paris Hilton (the office cat, not the blonde person) a fat slut, but that's because she is one. Yesterday I had to retrieve her from under 2 tomcats.

I think most pet owners talk to their pets at least occasionally.

I believe I can speak to cat's with my mind. It's a little weird...But when I attempt to connect with them on a telepathic stream, their ears twitch back and forth, as if they were hearing something.

If time is my vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea

I can't walk past a cat (and most dogs, but since they tend to be accompanied by humans, I don't that often) without greeting it. All the regular cats in my neighbourhood have names that I've given them.

I'm going to end up as the old crazy lady with all the cats aren't I?

my favorite take on cats and humans is the "Cat Lady" from The SIMPSONS, she has so many extra cats she can afford to throw them at you. i think the book and animated movie Watershipdown had a big influence on me as far as how i relate to animals, and the cat in that tale was nasty, hence all cats i come across are nasty (in a good way).

I once spent time in the house of a woman who'd just died and she had 76 cats and the
authorities were trying to round them up and figure out what to do and the place
was a fucking wreck. Really disgusting. A cliche for sure and a scary one, too.

i'm sure, i've seen it, down the street from where i grew up. thats why the "cat lady" hits home, i guess when you can relate to someone elses interpretation and you realise there are people like this all over it helps resolve the feeling thats its just happening on your one messed up block.

if i had the land? sure a yak would be welcome, i think they are classic beasts as far as the whole animal and person relationship goes. i can't imagine how i would talk to a yak but "black harvest moon" would blare from the farmhouse at dawn i can tell you that.

i blew the lyrics there on that one huh? and you were all to nice to call me on it.

"WHITE NOISE MAKER" is a great song, and Frank name drops "the YAK" in it.

i talk to my dog all the time. dogs can learn/respond to over 250 phrases, so talking to them really isn't so dumb. but talking to cats is, because dogs are SO much better
