On my way to the mailbox this morning...

[MiHale]

I saw my neighbor talking to her cat. The way she was talking it’s like she really believes her cat could understand her and talk back…

1. "well, of course I talk to my cat. She would be hurt if I didn't answer

when she asks me a question."

2. My pets and I have ongoing conversations.

That is outside, the sundry chats about food. Civet, didn't talk to me for half the day, yesterday, because I recycled his cardboard box.

7. I had to laugh at that. We bought a $30. cat bed, but our cat preferred the empty box my boots came in.

I let him use it for a couple weeks after Christmas, moved it down next to the empty, very cozy looking cat bed, and finally disappeared it one day.
It worked, but if we took no action, he'd still be in the shoe box today.
It's a cat thing.

3. that's how I talk to my dawg.

he tilts his head this way and that way and seems to be wondering WTF is this woman on about.

9. My cats know a lot of English. They also know how to let me know what they want.

Of course, when I had dogs also, they too understood English.

[MiHale]

11. My dog can count...

If I lay out the ‘wrong’ number of little treats he’ll let me know…tried it in many different times and locales same results. Never complains about too many though.

12. Dogs and cats train us well.

Yoda, one of my cats, moves his mouth up and down in a chewing motion to let me know when he is hungry and he won't take "NO, it is not suppertime yet for an answer".

[MiHale]

13. My dog read that over my shoulder...

Said …”It’s love not training”. …not sure I believe him.

We’d better be careful.

25. There are several videos on the internet

Where the dog that wouldn’t obey commands . Until they find out the dog only understood Spanish and not English.

14. Hey, animals are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for.

With the tens of millions of pets in this Country constantly chatting up a storm w/ their owners, and living side by side w/ their owners day in and day out, the intelligence is bound to rub off on our animals. The animals know what's going on. Believe me.

[MiHale]

17. 👍...sometimes it seems scary...in a good way😂

[SWBTATTReg]

23. Yes, it is sometimes a little bit overwhelming, but you're right, it is in a good way, and I suspect that if you ever

need their help, you'll get a smarter than expected response from them. Like so many of us, you treat your animals like one of the family (and they are), and thus, we're all in 'it', for each other, look out for each other. A nice thing to have indeed!

[niyad]

18. More like their intelligence would rub off on us.

[ShazzieB]

15. I talk to my cat all the time.

She listens...and then she goes ahead and does whatever she wants. Because she's a cat!

Our last cat, Logan, was quite a conversationalist. My husband would carry on lengthy dialogs with him, and Logan always had something to say about any topic that came up. Unfortunately, I don't speak Meowish, so I couldn't tell you what Logan was saying.

[MiHale]

19. The older my little dog gets...he's gonna be 13 in February...he's getting more vocal...

And there’s times his opinions …🤪🤣

[calimary]

21. We have three cats. I talk to 'em all!

They think I’m boring annd useless unless I present cat food.

[TommieMommy]

16. That's funny. I talk to my cat too. If he ever answers me I'm calling AGT 😁

[MiHale]

20. 👍

[BradBo]

22. I find it impossible not to when you love your dog or cat.

[Trueblue Texan]

24. I talk to my cat, but I'm not very nice...

She is so f*ing RUDE! And UNGRATEFUL ! The dogs know what I’m talking about .
