If you are a pet owner, and you tell us that you do not speak to your pet, we are instantly going to call you a liar. All pet owners talk to their pets, that's simply a universal truth. And if, for some unclear reason, you really don't, then you should. There's something cathartic about being able to say the most ridiculous things to your pet - confessions of all kinds, secrets that you would never speak a word of to others.
What makes it better, of course, is the fact that our pets don't keep quiet either for the most part. We will say something ridiculous to our pet, and our pet will say something back. We are sure that they know what we're saying to them - they understand on some level, maybe through our tone, our expression, our body language. However it works, they know, they understand. We can only wish we understood their language better as well.
If the walls are thin enough in your house for your neighbor to hear you saying goodbye to your pets as you leave… goodness, what must our neighbors heard us say to our pets. Just yesterday, we were yelling at one of our cats to please stop wiping his butt on the floor right after he poops. Oh lawd.
Listen, at least he cooperated. Our cats will fight us on the nail cutting tooth and… nail. Nothing convinces them to allow us to do this to them. Treats, snacks, pets, nothing. We promise that we're gentle about it too. Our cats are just jerks like that.
