What do I talk about to my cats? Actually, we read each others eyes, and they seem to understand. I don't carry on a full blown conversation with the cats, it's more like asking them where my car keys are, or just asking them "what's up"? I'm sure they know what I'm doing and thinking without me talking to them, it's that 6th scent of theirs. I treat them as equals, and they go about their own business in their house. It's perfectly sane to talk to a cat, they don't hurt you or cause you grief like humans. It's unconditional love with them. I have a feeling that if you cannot love a cat, you cannot love a human. It's such a close bond, the cat/human realtionship. They are really something!
