Do you talk to your pet?

[IamLEAM1983]

I used to talk to Whiskey all the freaking time. When I wasn't talking to him, I usually growled with him. He had a good non-aggressive growl, almost like he was trying as hard as he could to actually form words. It usually ended up with him yawning with a high-pitched whine and giving a look I could basically translate as "I give up; but you're still the best guy on the planet in my book. Here's a lick to prove it."

And then he'd lick my hand or a corner of my face.

*sighs* I still miss him. A lot.

Yes I talk to my dog alot, he likes the attention though and feeling like he's in charge

 

[Jerre138]

Of course. One of my cats will meow in response to pretty much anything you say to her, which makes it awesome.

The ignorant shit

Bugger never talks back though the ignorant shit.

This made me laugh.

Also, I talk to my pets a lot. They love the attention and its nice always having someone to talk to.

 

[Carl goes to mars]

Either when I'm stressed about something or when something on the News annoys me.

 

[Thundero13]

Yes, I talk to both of my cats very often and I talk to cats I meet if i'm just walking around or whatever, I met a nice cat called Trixie recently actually, we had an interesting discussion but alas, I couldn't stay for very long
...
Umm... short answer yes, yes I do

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I lack a furry companion, but I'm fairly certain I would if I had one.

 

[Fooz]

yeah i talk to my dog, but not actual conversations, i just make fun of her or play talk or whatever

sometimes i act out what i think she is saying to make people laugh, but that's about it

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Yeah, and they talk back.

*Half sleep and waking up to see fat cat on bed."

"*****, you look like Tom [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry]
Cat: "And you look like Fat Albert."
...
"Touche'

I talk to most animals I come across. Didn't realize it was a habit of mine until this thread. In particular, I talk to the neighours' cat when he comes into our house, and there's a family of pukekos [http://farm1.static.flickr.com/3/5540740_b62aa276f3.jpg] that visit sometimes too, I'll talk to them when they pop over as well.

 

[solemnwar]

I talk to my pets... but more in a "talking down" sort of a way xD Sort of, "Awwww lookit you you have little white toes! <3"

Yeah I'm a retard when it comes to my cat >>;

 

[Sansha]

No, but I talk to my car when I'm trying to do any complicated driving maneuver.

"Dammit, Izi, the fuck are you doing?"

 

[Randomperson9999999]

i talk to my cat when im bored and alone

 

[Tonimata]

Nope, for the most part I just order my dog to play dead. That way she stays in place long enough for her to forget that she came to my room looking for food/love

 

[Quaidis]

I talk to my animals like I would co-workers.

Yo cat, how was your day?

Hey dog, I was wondering where you were.

Which one of you puked on the floor?


Stuff like that.

 

[Eleima]

All the time. Or at least I used to, before we had to put him down (lymphoma).

 

[StellarViking]

My fiancee and I have a habit of talking to every animal ever. This will include this one stray cat that's the friendliest one you'll ever meet, and also, once, a fox. She was taking photos in the snow and a fox ran up, so before she took a picture of it she said "HIIIII!!!" really loudly and scared it off.

Our cat, Harley, is a member of conversation more often than her parents.

 

[gazumped]

Yes, but I also say thank you to cash machines/ATMs, so don't mind me...

 

[dvd_72]

Well yea, but it's more a way to give the pet some attention without making baby noises. I don't care if what I'm saying is nonsense, it's the tone they feel. Also I abhore baby noises. I wont even make baby noises to babies, so yea.

 

[bliebblob]

Oh yeah all the time, it's a great way to get rid of those I-had-the-worst-day-ever stories. You just want to get it out of your system and nobody really wants to hear your requiem. So, perfect solution: your pet! They couldn't care less and probably even like the attention.
