oh yeah, i talk to all of the furries. when i come in , i always ask how their day was, did the squirrels come by, since i'm home now, they're off security duty. when i walk with them, we 'chat' about the neighbor yards, LEAVE IT, and the conversations go on off and on all day. peanut is more vocal then alex,and it makes me smile, her arrooos are very hound like vocalizations. mojo is a very verbal cat. lots of conversation goes on here .
