That's what I always find myself saying to my cats as I pet them. Do you find yourself talking to your pets, and if so, what do you say to them?

"Why can't you get a job?"

"You need to start pulling your weight around here."

Pets do have it made, gotta agree with that. They get to stay somewhere free, have all the water, food, toys, they want, and get all kinds of attention lavished on them. Must be nice.

seriously, if people heard how i talked to pets, they'd have me locked up. i go into serious cute overload.

I say this all the time.

To my kitties and my "kitties"




Beyond that, some common phrases are:
"NO Kitty!"
"Keep yer paws to yerself"
"I need a kitty"
"Have you had a hard day kitty?"
"come take a nap kitty"

and, umm, I'd best stop now.

prolly my favorite kitty line comes from my BF

every once in a while we get into bed and the kitties aren't waiting for us. So he'll yell out "all available kitties to the bed, please!"

we are sad!

i babytalk my birdies all the time

'Get me my pipe and slippers bitch'.

I love how Denton talks to the kitties!!

Not as sad as me though. I talk to my kitty all the time. I can often be found saying things like

No kitties outside! (when she's trying to get into the porch)
You are the cutest kitty in the whole wideworld of kitties.
Aren't you the cutest kitty?


And more like that. I also talk to my kitty as if she were a person.

I would probably put all y'all to shame with my puppy speak. It's truly pathetic, but I've been told it's hilarious to watch.

The nicknames that Ian and I have are just ridiculous!

endorphin74 said:

AWW! That is so cute

I talk to my kitties too...I explain things to them...tell them how cute they are...make up songs about them...tell Iggy that he's my baby panther (my kitties are black)

Loving all these stories, thanks to all who posted. You all made me smile today.

I always talk to pussy. But it don't talk back I always get a rise out of cocks though.

I talk to my neighbor's dog, he's my buddy.

Awwww. My neighbor's dog is a friendly little guy, he always wants to come over and say hello when he sees me.

One of my cats, Mim, has a voice of his own, I mean that I made up It's high pitched, kinda whiny at times, and "he" starts every sentence with "But Mammi..." I know, I'm crazy. And I have a million pet names for Uzie, Poppi and Loppan (means 'the flea', don't ask why cos she doesn't have any) are the most frequent.

We're a crazy bunch us animal owners

I used to get into howling/barking/growling contests with my doggie. He was the greatest. Did tricks and everything.
