Do you talk to your pets?

Oh, I always talk to the pets.
I definitely think they understand not just words, but tones.
I think they say that dogs and cats can understand up to 200 words or something like that.

Not so much with differential equations, but that is just because cats and dogs find math to be very very very boring. If you watch high school calculus classes, you will often find cats and dogs listening in and mocking the math nerds. They are pretty ruthless with their insults. I should know, I was a math major. :)

The important thing is the I obey the voices in their heads, whatever they tell them to do, that is what I can going to do, in order to serve my feline overlords.

I will obey.

I baby talk to my dog mostly, but I do think "out loud" to her as well.

She understands:
Are you hungry?
Do you want to go out?
Treat
C'mon
Hurry up
Where's puppy?
Good girl
It's okay (when she thinks she hears a stranger)
Go upstairs

I'm sure they understand all the usual words they hear everyday ...

On our walks, there is a lot of 'No' and 'Stop' thrown in there too .:giggle:..
 
Yes. I talk to my Boxer and he understands my tone and a few words he's grown to learn that perk up his adorable ears. He is spooky smart though; my husband can say, "Lucius, go get some water, get a drink," and he will. -Or my husband will ask him to get a specific toy and tell him where to drop it and he will. He's a good boy; young yet, but trying hard, like all dogs do. ♥

Before going for walks, I tell Lil'Bear to go and get a drink of water, (especially when it's hot weather) ... he always goes running to the patio to get some water when I say that.

And he likes to cock his head when listening ... I guess they hear better that way. 😀

I talk to Pixel and he understand a lot of what I say. That's why I'm pretty sure he was someone's house-cat before I invited him in a few weeks ago.

Hello Sir.

I saw in one post that you are mishpucha, a member of the Tribe.. I am also from a Jewish background. I don't know if you are from the NYC area originally. Anyway, Mel Brooks is part of a documentary about the old Automat restaurants in NYC...

The very old comedians, Harry Ritz and the Ritz Brothers are our relatives. Mel Brooks grew up loving Harry Ritz. He put him in one of his movies (Silent Movie). My dad said that at the family gatherings, Harry and his brothers were just as crazy as they were on screen.

wishing you a good day....

Thanks, Jon.

Yeah, my mom was an Italian Jew, my dad was a Catholic Irishman, and I'm a Californian. So, technically, I'm a member of 3 clans.
 
I've always talked to our pets.

Mac is slowly learning voice commands.

Both of us have rough housed with him,,now paying for that.
Have to stop his nipping & pawing at us.

His toe nails grow fast & are sharp,, hates for us to cut his nails.

Noticed a dog nail clipper that tell how close to the nail quick you are before cutting.
Anyone tried one of those?
 
My blue heeler learned how to lie. They get a treat after going outside. So Apollo whined at the kitchen door to go out, naturally I get up go to open the door then he back peddled to the counter where the treats are! Another thing he does is comes in front of Ceaser grabs his treat and immediately runs back out while door is open, u turns and comes right back in behind Ceaser wanting another treat. And before anyone tries to correct my spelling, his name is spelled Ceaser on purpose. Guess he hoped I would forget how many dogs I have. 🤪
