Why is it that people think you're mad or have something missing when you talk to your cat or dog?
I know that the animal doesn't have the intellect to learn a whole different species' language, and so they probably don't know what you're talking about - but get this: the animal talks to us too!! In fact the reason we talk back to them is because they talk to us in the first place!
Scenario:
"Meooow!"
"Shut up"
"Meooooow! Meeeowwwww!
"What do you want?"
"Meeow?"
"Do you want food?"
"Meoooww!!"
>Opens can of canned yuck, spoons into bowl, places down for cat<
"Eat it then!"
"Meeoooww"
"Look, I've you've asked for food, now eat it!"
"Meeow.."
>Cat starts to walk off<
"Come back and eat your food!"
>Picks up cat, places on front of food, cat walks off< x 3
"Meeoooooooaaaaoooaaaaaoww"
"Oh meooww to you too"
"Meeooow"
"Meeooow"
"Meooooooow!
>Cat starts eating food<
Scenario ends, confusion epidemic complete...
Now, do you think that other cats/animals tell each other or laugh when they see another animal/cat talking to a human? Would they say something like "Meeoowwwwwgrrrr rssssss sqssuaaaowwwwww >low pitch growling<" which would of course translate to
"They can't understand you, go catch a mouse or eat some grass you stupid thing" ?
Do you talk to your pet? Does it talk to you?
Anyway,
Meeow

my aunts got a parote that talks a bit, but he's a bit aggressive.
I'm trying to teach my cat that "jump up" actually means I want her to jump up. But she's 14 years old, and you know what they say, you can't teach an old dog (cat) new tricks
Other than that, I talk to her all the time, she usually just gives me hacky looks though
And that scene with the food is SO true!

My dog is annoying!! He can almost talk you know!!
My dog scratches the door as soon as I let her in or out aswell. I think its something the dogs have evolved over the thousands of years, just to annoy humans.
interessting.
Heh, doorbell. My dog would scratch it for fun :o)
