god the way people talk to their pets

like i’m calling myself out here but i just uttered the words “you did the stretch and now the rare and powerful double pets” (two hands at once!!) to my cat without a trace of irony

like i do not believe my cat understands a word of what i am saying but he absolutely knows my voice and i think also my tone? but also all day i’m just randomly looking over at him like “good boy!” or “are you fluffy?” or singing little songs about his current fluff levels. to an animal. a wonderful animal but a creature who absolutely does not speak english and probably only vaguely is like “this creature is communicating with me” when the strange noises come from the person’s mouth

like i just think about this sometimes

i never wanted to baby talk this cat, i dislike the whole “i am a cat mom and this is my baby” thing, he is a cat, i am a person, and yet i just spend all day talking at him. while typing this he rolled over to show off his tummy and i had to restrain myself from saying “you got a tummy?” aloud. and then i did it anyway

(he is indeed in possession of a tummy)

as a cat person, i used to think when people said they cant stand their dogs 'licking themselves' they mean specifically the dog licking its own butt or balls etc and were trying to morally shame the dog

until having a dog where no apparently it means dogs cleaning anywhere on their body with their tongue because it makes the most disgusting obnoxiously loud gutteral glurshing GLORTCH sound

and they wont stop for hours

at least cats bathing is silent

i write this as the dog next to me loudly GLORPSH CLORTHCHHS SHSHSLOROROROPRPPPPs his shoulder and elbow at the volume of a jet plane

As a cat person, I need people to know our old cat makes sounds like a DJ record scratching everywhere she licks.

Both person, but dog shares the bedroom - somewhere in the dark is the sound of an old man eating chowder! >_<
