My cat does this bark/chirp and gives me this frustrated confused look. He’s essentially saying “Me, attention me” while he stretches his hands at me and “pretends” it’s just stretching.
He thinks he’s clever but I got him all figured out.
One of my cats will get close to me, drop to the floor, streeeeeeetch slowly toward me … then fucking run when I move
That Family Guy scene where Stewie says “mom, mom, mommy, mommy” over and over again and then runs out of the room
This. And don’t forget all the complaints. Food bowl empty, box not completely empty, blanket not folded just right, chair occupied by human and not cat, too hot, too cold, food need food, play with me.
accurate
Why is my food bowl empty???
What are you eating, can i have some?!?
That will be about 80% of the conversation based on my experience.
LETS GO OUT LETS GO OUT I NEED TO GO OUT WHY ARENT WE OUTSIDE YET?
My hamster is a fucking primadonna hipster who works out 8 hours a day.
“Pellets…? Really…? Don’t you know they’re full of carbs…OH!! Fruit snacks!! I need energy!!”
“Carrots and dill treat? No thanks. I only eat the cranberry ones.” *Drags treat over to his pooping corner and leaves it there.
Me: “Did you just flush that treat down the toilet…?”
At 1:30 AM “I’m going to the gym!” *Pushes hamster wheel up against the side of his cage for maximum banging and clattering noises, then proceeds to go on a brisk run for 2 hours.
When I’m feeding him. “You may pick me up and pet me human, I consent. I like warm hands.”
When I need to clean his cage. “Bad touch, bad touch! I do not consent! I will bite you!”
We have the President and Vice President of the Starving Dogs of Colorado in our house. That is pretty much their favorite subject.
Greetings from the country of Holy Shit There’s A Fucking Fox Outside In The Exact Same Spot It Was In Every Other Day of My Life
Our president would send her regards, but she’s busy at the window right now
We also have one that is part of the Hot Air Balloons are a Threat Club!
Hahahah! That one should meet my cat who is deathly afraid of the light on the kitchen ceiling.
“What’s it doing up there?? What’s it up to??”
Cat starring out window: " LOOK HOOMAN THERES BIRDS!"
Cat runs to back door: “lemme out, lemme out, lemme out”
lets cat outside, car vrooms past 20 seconds later
Scaredy cat gets spooked by car: “Lemme in, lemme in, lemme in”
cat proceeds to explain what i assume is a tall tale of heroics, birds, and loud mechanical beasts he defended the hoomans from
Repeat above a few times a day.
We have two dogs and two cats. All of them talk, but our husky mix is in a class by himself. He carries on detailed conversations all the time. If he could form consonants as well as vowels he would just speak English. And occasionally he sings the blues, quite beautifully.
Denali: “Both cats are on the bed, although Sue is hiding in the headboard. There are three rabbits out back near the windows. Three people are walking dogs somewhere on our streets. And the postman is running late today.” Me: “Okay, thanks for the status report.” Denali: “That was just the summary. Let me give you the details…”
My dog judges my parenting. She barks and snorts if I don’t help the kids quickly enough.
My cat is always either telling me he wants to go outside unsupervised, or that he wants my food instead of his.
I endure this all day every day. Torti too
IT’S TIME TO GET UP! IT’S TIME TO EAT! I WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY BALL!
THE GUY WHO BRINGS BOXES IS HERE AGAIN AND HE’S REALLY GOING TO KILL US ALL THIS TIME!!!
I WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY BALL! IT’S TIME TO EAT!
I WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY BALL!
It’s time for bed.
So cute.
As the owner of a cat who’s both talkative and a picky eater, it’s usually
“DAD I’M HUNGRYYYYYY”
And
“DAD I’M NOT HUNGRY FOR THAT HOW DARE YOU FEED ME THAT I’D RATHER STARVE”

Twice in my life I’ve had a cat that runs to greet me at the door and tell me about her workday. It’s absolutely delightful
Best I can figure since I don’t know the language:
Girl cat: “Mrep” is “Hey I see you/Hello/Aloha/Nameste” “Mrow” is “Gimme cheek rubs” “Mrp” is “I like you”
Boy cat: “Murp” is “Look at my belly/wanna play?” “Murrow” is “Pick me up and carry me around” “Mrayer!” Is “Don’t leave me, pick me back up!”
You are thinking about making salmon and I expect to be given most, if not all, of it. For this reason, I will not be eating my own food to save room. Also I want to sleep outside tonight even though I can see it is stormy and raining.
Later that night: WTF let me in! Can’t you see it’s raining out here!?
This morning, my rooster was chasing one of my hens around yelling at her because she caught a frog and just wanted to eat it in peace.
I had to rehome my birds a couple months ago, and I miss them dearly. My absolute favorite part of the day was dumping the bowl of that day’s kitchen scraps off the back porch. They had become so accustomed to it that if they heard the back door open, the damn things would come running like it was some weird chickeny religious call to prayer.
You dump the bowl and then watch them go to town. When everything’s nearly gone, one chicken will get up to nerve to grab the best goody that’s left and tear off. And now they all abandoned the rest of it to chase her and play Bell Peppers Seed Pod Tag.
I miss my birdies. :(
My birds love my daughter, she will usually go down there with some leftover snack for them, and now two of them will sit down in front of her to be cuddled.
