It just occured to me that there could be a good discussion on what sort of daft things cat and dog OWNERS get up to! I, for one talk to my cats constantly, but that's pretty tame, I'm sure there are some of you out there who want to confess to a lot worse than that?

Martin,
Not only do I talk to my three cats all the
time, but I also speak to the 2 males in
English and the female only in French! (I
adopted her from an owner who spoke only French). Of course, I have no idea whether he SPOKE to her (Caresse - the name he gave
her). As if this isn't crazy enough, I've
invented special words for the pets and us, and dreamt up some other weird words for other animals, weather etc. I call this cat
language, and thought maybe of one day
publishing a book - "Cat Language: a short
vocabulary." They are, "little kids," people
are "big kids." Dogs are "woof woofs." Food
is "foodies." I think I had better stop there! Of course, my cats understand everything I say to them!
