Weedy things you say (and sing) to cats

[stdPikachu]

My cat taught me to speak in such a way so that she can understand me, so I don't have to talk in silly voices, or sing, or anything. In fact, if I ever do put on a silly voice, she always gives me the "WTF are you doing?!" look. I guess my cat isn't the arty type...

 

[SubZeroCat]

You have a cat??

 

[stdPikachu]

I have a cat at home in Wales, I've not lived in a house in London that'll let me have one yet I talk to her on the phone sometimes, cos she recognises my voice, and within about 3 minutes of me getting through the door she's waiting in the living room for me to put my feet up so she can curl up in my lap cos I've got her favourite (i.e. biggest) legs.

I miss my cat

: ponders seeming correlation between lonely hearts thread and cat lovers :

Awww thats soooo sweet but also sad

I had the most beautiful cat ever, got him when I was 5 and he was always the coolest friend I ever had, sadly died 4 months ago though (actually, it was the day before my birthday)

I miss the dopey but cute little cat

*ponders the same as Pika and worries....*

Alone at 70 living with 14 cats? I think so

Me too, but I'd dispute the smiley.

I miss the dopey but cute little cat

I have the same thing, though she wasn't that dopey, especially when it came to twisting me round her littlest claw.........still miss her loads, she died in July.

I have friends who get their cats to purr at me down the phone. Funnily enough, I find it really cute & say things like "Hello Georgie!" & "Hello Jezebel!" back to them.

Now if any of my friends put their kids on the phone I'm thinking "bleeeeeurgh! Stop this babbling brat wasting my phone bill!"

 

[oryx]

Me too, but I'd dispute the smiley.

And me.

The friend from who I obtained R.I.P. cat (see above) said she reckoned by the time she was old, she'd be living in a dark basement flat with five cats.

Then she realised she already was.

(Although she was one of the coolest & most outgoing friends I've ever had!)

I miss my first cat, she was great. She was 5 when I was born, and died when I was 16 at a stonkingly old 21 years. My parents have a pic of her looking into my cradle when I came back from the hospital with a sort of "WTF is that?!" look on her face. She was the gentlest cat ever and liked stopping other cats from coming and trying to eat the birds (she'd lie down and doze in the garden, and the birds would do bird things all around her), but she didn't train me as well as my current cat has and only understood her name, "food", "out" and "bed" properly - although she handled silly voices alot better.

"Get orf moi land or I'll set Tiddles on you!"

There's a DJ Vadim concert going on about 50 yards away and I'm getting every second of it

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Said in the presence of, but not to, the cat:

"Honey, where'dja put the double ought buck?"

I once said to a girlfriend some years ago "I don't want to find myself living alone somewhere with only a cat for company".

She then reminded me none too gently that I was sitting in her house in Pontypridd with she shared with a cat.

Funnily enough, what I would really like right now (as opposed to when I'm seventy) is to find myself living alone somewhere with only a cat for company.

 

[Jazzz]

I do say stupid things to cats, but that's because it obviously annoys them, and annoying cats is fun.

Annoying cats is mean. You should be ashamed of yourself fridge!

Unless, they are playing their mind games with you. In which case, it's an equal contest

(one such cat game is 'door' - that old classic where they must endeavour to stay on the side of the door that you don't want them to be on)

Aaww that cat sounds adorable. Cats should live forever. Fact.

Is there really a DJ Vadim concert near you? That you can hear for free?

*begins to dislike Pika with his "boursin" and his "DJ Vadim" and his...that thing...yeah *

 

[Donna Ferentes]

(one such cat game is 'door' - that old classic where they must endeavour to stay on the side of the door that you don't want them to be on)

This can be compared to "two cats, one door" in which you have to close and lock the cats bbehind the kitchen door before you go to bed. Unfortunately you can only pick up one at a time, and therefore, once you've done the first one and returned with the second, you have to unblock and open door and thus release the first one in order to put the other one to bed.

I shall be playing shortly.

This race was held in 2003 to honour the 21st birthday of Pebbles, a cat I know in a guest house in Newmarket. She was still going in 2004 when I went back to the guest house and she was therefore 22.

 

[stdPikachu]

Aaww that cat sounds adorable. Cats should live forever. Fact.

She had a damaged liver and couldn't eat any more, and the vet put her down right in front of me in about 10 seconds flat without even giving me a chance to say goodbye. I cried my eyes out for hours

He's been playing at 93 Feet East Bit pissed off I ddin't know about it before I saw the "DJ Vadim playing here TONIGHT!" poster though.

Luckily we got to say goodbye to our cat, it felt so cruel though but he had pleurisy and cancer and a failing heart, poor thing. I cried for hours too

He's been playing at 93 Feet East Bit pissed off I ddin't know about it before I saw the "DJ Vadim playing here TONIGHT!" poster though.

You live near 93 Feet East?! *gets excited*

There's a wicked cafe round there that a friend told me about, I'll PM you about it

cats should live forever, you're right. If only people were like cats the world would be a better place.

Sadly, no (though I'd like to, but it's far too despicably trendy here so the flats are far too expensive ). I'm still at work but at the rate I'm going I'll be getting monday off.

The wicked café wouldn't be coffe@ would it? Top bollocks coffee and the best music collection I've heard in a long while. They had Roots Manuva's latest on today, and Wagon Christ yesterday

She was still going in 2004 when I went back to the guest house and she was therefore 22.

Yowza, that's one OAP moggy! I don't think mine was ever cool enough to warrant having a race named after her though.

Pika for god's sake go home and go to bed!

Havent heard of that cafe but it sounds quite cool as well! Bingo, I'm gonna go on a cafe crawl soon

Gosh. I wouldn't want to play 'door' against two opponents... good luck!

You like being stroked behind the ears, watching dust motes and fiddling with the end of your tail? w00t!

If I can save myself a days work next week by putting in a few extra hours today, then yes I'm going to do it!

Maybe not quite as you put it......I like sleeping and miaowing

Fair enough.

I don't drink coffee I'm a herbal tea gal, however, I do twitch

Well, when I set fire to the city and rebuild civilisation full of sisal rope, catnip and dust motes floating in sunbeams I'll ensure that I rescue you beforehand.

Thats so kind of you

 

[stdPikachu]

Free sex, free love and free school milk.

 

[RubyToogood]

What do you say to yours then? "Pass the milk"?

Mostly "gerroff my knitting!" at the moment.

 

[LDR]

I baby talk to cats too

I don't like to patronise the cats it'll give them self-esteem issues.

Try that X 6
Luckily they're small cats so you can pick up 2 at a time - still fiddly though especially seeing as the minute they hear the fireguard going on they scatter - buggers

 

[IntoStella]

Mine -- Molly and PJ -- are known as Mollymoo, Mollymoptop, Peejersneejers and simply Sneej. The latter is also known as Burt as that is the noise she makes.

Their late brother was known as Harvey-larvae.

I have also been known to sing "I am a PJ" to the tune of David Bowie's DJ.

 

[butterfly child]

There's no shame in loving your cats.

I think it was Ms T who admitted to singing 'You are my sunshine' to her cats once.. I do that to my guinea pigs.

My husband just tells them they're evil

I have to say hello and goodbye to my pigs when I leave the house/get home... and I say good morning and good night!

When I give them fresh veg, I say 'Got lovely carrots. Want some carrots? D'you want some lovely carrots my babies'

I'm not embarrassed

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Mostly "gerroff my knitting!" at the moment.

Hah. I bet a cat could do some serious damage to knitting with very little effort.

Try that X 6

I've tried this, does that count?
