Meow

[catnapper]

I talk to my cats all the time. I think I've got their meows down pat.

Last weekend, I was cleaning out a cage at the adoption center and one of the cats was talking to me in the cage. I meowed back and we had quite the conversation going on. I walked out of the cage area and some of the other volunteers looked at me like I'd lost my mind; one said, "that was YOU meowing?"

I always thought it was completely normal to meow at your cat, especially since hubby does it too!

Sooo.... do you meow to your cats?

[catmandu]

Absolutely!
I talk to The Found Cats all the Time,telling them about any New Food I have bought.Yesterday it was the Eukanuba Pouches that were on half price at Petcetera.
And I tell them and My Dear Mother about any Cat that I might have seen,and any interesting person tnat I may have met on the way,and whether there will be take out for them at the Lunceon Buffet.
And generally just the News Of The Day.
They think me a Chatter Box,but I love that they understand the Love in My Voice.

It varies. Sometimes I talk and when they meow, I continue the conversation in English. But sometimes I meow back.

Sometimes they really stop and cock their heads so I often wonder what it is that I said in their 'speak'.

Onyx is quite the "talker", so if I meow in a sing-song voice she talks right back until it goes on long enough, she goes crazy. She starts talking very loudly and I think she stimulates herself and has to leave the room !!

You mean some people don't meow at their cats? Yes, I do all the time, in fact I have Katie's meow down so well that my husband isn't always sure sho is who LOL I have two rather vocal cats, and I like to carry on conversations with them

Strictly conversational english, but it doesn't stop her from meowing her response.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Of course I do!! I love it when they meow back!!

[jenluckenbach]

Occasionally. But for the most part, I speak to them in the language that I know best. (wouldn't want an inter-species incident because I spoke something with the wrong meaning or grammer)

Absolutely! I have no idea if I'm saying anything, the the kitties humor me and will answer back. I was just talking to a friend about this. Her cat meows everytime someone sneezes. I guess that's her way of saying God Bless.

I ALWAYS talk to my kitties. They probley think I am crazy but its fun.They are always around so I talk to them. My husband and myself are really working on Chloe so that she will talk as much as our himmy did but she only talks when she needs something. Figures!! Ha Ha Tuck talkes ALL of the time. Mopar kinda talks snorts mainly!!

I just have to look at mine and he knows what I'm saying!

Umm..no not really meowing at them, More like talking to them. They respond better when I talk to them.
But, When I call Meu-Meu people think I'm meowing for her but that's just her name.
