I'm probably a bit sillier with my dogs than I am my cats. Thank Heavens you didn't ask about them! I talk with both of them often, in fact give them lectures about getting along with each other. I'll be telling someone about it and say something like "I told Mimi that she had to do better", and my daughter will immediately ask me what Mimi said to that. I'm here alone with all the animals a lot, so I get into some deep conversations. I've said before that I might get committed if anyone ever hid a camera in this house.
I think we're all guilty of letting our cats control the position we ultimately sleep in at night. How many times have you slept in a funny position, or sat in a different chair, all because your cat was all comfortably settled where you wanted to be??
I've done it a lot in the past 11 years with Mimi!
