      You were traveling with your cat? That’s precious 😍. Also so sorry for your loss, it’s tough.

          Oh that’s much better than i initially understood it. I’m leaving for 2 days as well and I’m thinking about getting a live feed to see mine home… I’m only half joking

    Cats and dogs both are shown to have a human language vocabulary of at least 100 words. If you train them to use buttons that say a few words back, you can have a limited conversation, and they will confirm that they understand the song and that their little hearts are filled with love for you, Mr. Can Opener.

    My orange girl came to live with me (and her cat sis) when she was less than a month old. I work from home and for 8 years the three of us have spent more time together than anyone else. I would say we are in the same room 99% of my time (including poop time of course hahahahaha) I know it’s too much but what can I do? they are cute babies that have everything they want and all the boxes

    I sing for mother’s cat when I have to medicate her.

    “Medicine time! Medicine time for girl cats! Medicine time for little girls!” I sing as I grab the medicine and ear rag.

    She yells at me to hurry up to get to the second verse.

    “Snackies for good girls! Snackie time!” Then give her treats.

    I sing the most stupid songs with the most obvious lyrics (stuff like “You’re a dog!” or “Your name is Mr. Dog!”) to my dog all the time with joy. I’m not sure exactly what’s wrong with me, but my dog loves me anyway.

      My mother always finds my cats to sing her song to them.

      It’s goes who’s got a fluffy face, you have. And then gives them a cat treat. This is repeated at 6 times.
