    This is why I only talk to my cats like adult humans.

    One is a lawyer and the other an investment banker.

    It’s important to not coddle them.

      Mr. Pickles the vase was found on the floor in pieces by the lady of the house.
      You were witnessed on the mantle shortly after the incident.
      What is your defense?

      Meow?

      That’s convenient. It seems to be an odd coincidence indeed. And yet we have a long list of witnesses of your blatant disregard for elevated objects.
      I myself witnessed you dislodge a flower pot last week. Can you explain that as coincidence?

      Mrow.

      No. No you can’t. With all these repeat offenses how are we supposed to judge you?

      Meow.

      Yes I see. That’s right. You are indeed a cat. We don’t judge you. You judge us.

        Sometimes it feels like it’s their house and I’m just living there, but I earn my keep by providing meals.

    “Oh haha sorry I was talking to my cat”

    I really wonder sometimes if people are actually so bad with using their words or if they just play it up for Internet clicks.

      Why not both? Anyway, I know this does happen irl. I was once leaving an office and the lady there had a really cute chihuahua, so I said “Goodbye” and added cheerfully: “Bye bye, sweet creature.” It took me about a minute to realise I didn’t check whether the lady saw I was talking to the dog. Hopefully she’s used to her dog getting lots of attention - that’s what I tell myself now to cope.

    I did this recently when I walked past someone’s garden and their pet sheep came over to see me. I was happily chatting away to the sheep about how much it had been munching away and how hot it must be with all that wool when a very confused postman I had not noticed responded

    DM: “You rolled a natural 1 on your charisma check. What is your response to your neighbor’s question?”

    Player: “I was searching for my pussy!”

    I hope my neighbor doesn’t think I address her as “my little quadropus.” Especially since mine is an indoor cat and I never talk to my cat outdoors.

    I talk sweet to my cats too! The words aren’t because it’s endlessly self amusing to insult them without their knowing. Haven’t been caught by a stranger yet.
