Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2005Ok, so who admits to having converstions with their cat?
Ok, I admit it, I have full length conversations with my cat. I'm really a dog person at heart, but I'd never have a dog in an apartment, so I've turned my life over to my cat. Every morning, it's the same thing. She whimpers and jumps at my bedroom door trying to get in and I talk to her for five minutes while I'm climbing out of bed. I finally go and open the door and she comes trotting in with her five second long winded rrrrr, rrrrr, rrrrr, rrrrr, rrrrrr scolding me for shutting her out of the bedroom and not to do it again. Then she arches her back and literally tips over on her side like piece of wood so I can rub her stomach. Five minutes of tummy rub and then she follows me into the bathroom and immediately jumps into the bathroom sink and watches me with her head hanging over the edge of the sink. This entire routine is accompanied with a full repertoire of conversation. Anybody listening to me would think that I've lost it and maybe I have, but I'm beginning to think that cats carry a disease infectious to humans called "catversationitis", so it's not my fault. I am not ashamed of saying that I talk to my cats....They seem to understand more than one may realize. > Ok, I admit it, I have full length conversations with my cat.

I think anyone who says they don't is not exactly telling the truth. I live my myself with my 4 furbabies and am always tlking to them and not ashamed to say so. http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ >I am not ashamed of saying that I talk to my cats....They seem to understand >more than one may realize. >> Ok, I admit it, I have full length conversations with my cat.

Does anybody _not_ talk to their cat? Now, THAT would be verrry abnormal. >>Don't we all ??? I think anyone who says they don't is not exactly telling >>the truth.

Even my husband will ask me who I am talking to, and when I tell him that I am talking to one of the cats, he says, Oh, okay, and then walks away. He is just as guilty of it as I am. I am guilty so is my whole family >>>Don't we all ??? I think anyone who says they don't is not exactly >>>telling the truth.

But how many of them talk back when you are talking to them :-) >I am guilty so is my whole family >>> [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] >> of the cats, he says, Oh, okay, and then walks away.

Some of mine do...especially Miss Kitty...she is quite a talker... > But how many of them talk back when you are talking to them :-) > [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] >>> of the cats, he says, Oh, okay, and then walks away.

Take last night as a normal example. I got in from the shops, dropped the bags and I'm saying "Yes Sarsi I did remember to get cat litter. Can you cross your legs for five minutes? Of course I'll do it just as soon as I;ve fed the pair of you! Get out from under my feet, if you trip me up remember daddy's done his foot in and won't be able to feed you and you wouldn't like that would you? Whoa! Look you got fed today...twice...stop trying to convince me that you've never had a solid meal in your life! Okay yes I can see the water dish. Which one of you has been ripping the paper up again? What do you want? Beefies? Chicken?....Here bunnies and lamb you haven't had that today. Stop trying to trip me up! Okay! Okay! I can't serve it any faster....there we are...happy now?" Isis (RB) used to answer back a lot and sometimes we would sit and talk for hours! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs i used to talk with my cat, but we kept getting into heated arguments about all kinds of topics, ranging from the best kind of tissue paper to the war in iraq. so, to avoid arguments, we now just exchange empty pleasantries and sit in front of the tv. Are you kidding?? I talk to my two all the time, and I know they understand. I have a shorthair domestic who is the entertainment for the family. He loves to be the center of attention; and if he isnt getting it, he'll make himself known. My other cat, calico female, could really care less. I talk to her all the time, but she seems to be very unfased by my conversations. Maybe to her I'm boring? ha >> This entire routine is accompanied with a full repertoire of conversation. >> Anybody listening to me would think that I've lost it and maybe I have, but [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
