Do You ever Talk to your Cat?

Izzy the cat was sitting on top of the couch back. I stopped to talk to her. I touched her nose and said this is your nose. Then I did the same with her ears, mouth, back, and tail.
She gave me a look, jumped down, and ran—poor kitty.
She came out of hiding minutes later to see what other silliness she might miss.
Do you ever talk to your cat or dog? Do they ever talk to you? What do you talk about?

@pitsipeahie If someone does not like animals at least a little, I would not care if they think I'm crazy. I will tell the cat everything and my secrets to the dog.

@akalinus To fellow cat lovers, it's not crazy at all. They can relate to that. But to others who don't have pets or aren't as fond of animals, it might seem a bit funny-awkward or even a little crazy.

@akalinus I firmly believe that they will be waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

@Shivram59 Yes, they do. I used to have a garden every year. I talked to the tomato and cucumber plants. I told them they were beautiful and I loved them. I praised them for the beautiful vegetables they produce and know they will give us wonderful food. They did.

I think most people who own pets talk to them at least some of the time.

No pets here.
Yet I have seen people talking to their pets.
I saw a vlogger teasing his dog by saying No for a treat.
The dog understood and became cranky.
Finally the Vlogger had to give in !

I have always talked to my pets as if they were people. I know that most animals are not going to know most words, but they understand inflection and tone. Then again, I also talk to inanimate objects like they are people so I might not be the best person to ask.

I used to talk to my cats all of the time. In some cases, I swear they could understand me. The most heartbreaking example, was when I told my cat, Precious, he could go. Three days after that conversation, he did.

To hear my voice after a long time I do talk to my cats, Just us being three in this apartment they have started to attempt to answer me but of course, we don't speak the same language so I just imagine what they might be saying to me. Like this morning Tish jumped on top of my PC chair where she likes to sit all day while I do my work and I said good morning and was promptly answered by a meow, It is the best she can do
