I love my cats to death and talk to them all the time, and recently some friends of mine were over and they started to make fun of me for talking to my cats.
So what is the deal? Am I the only person driven to idiocy by my wonderful cats, or is this the human condition?
My cats are named 'Cupcake' and 'Gravey' and I named neither of them and yes, I know Gravey is spelled wrong. They are pretty cute and they fight all the time.

i swear to god if i see another dumbass cali blond treating her little Chihuahua thing like a child i will hire an entire football team to impregnate her just so she can have a real child
I call mine Korean food, my korean roommate gets mad at this every now and then.
Also, people who talk to their pets like they can understand it makes my blood boil. "No, dog, do not eat that toilet paper. it is very bad for your health and may lead to unfortunate circumstances later on with your digestion!" No. No talking to pets like they're people.
my cat has just taken over my lap so typing on my laptop is a little difficult

i have three cats...Koshka, a gigantic Burmilla.
Chocolate, a tiny little ragdoll
and Lucky, a moggy stray who just never left.
I will post pictures of them when I get home.
Koshka is a stupid idiot so I talk to him a lot. His favourite trick is to sleep on the edge of the bed, and two or three times throughout the night, he stretches...yawns, rolls over...and straight off the bed.
Cats do not always land on their feet.
Chocolate is an absolute hussy. She loves to show off by rolling around and killing the scratching post, but she only does it when the men of the house are watching her, ie, me, or my stepdad.
And Lucky is just a cranky thing.
Also, there is nothing wrong with talking to your pets, as long as you don't talk to them AS IF THEY COULD UNDERSTAND YOU.
I know my cats don't understand me when I get down and make baby noises to them, but I know they hear the tone of voice and know that they've been good.

Man, my parents cats have a weird heritage... Let's see if I can work this out.
We still have Marathon, who is the oldest and first cat. She had kittens, of which now only two remain at the house (Hector and Matilda (Both female we'd find out)). Those two had kittens along with marathon (So that's three litters at the same time.) and we only had the weakest kitten left after that. Somehow, this cat got kittens at the same time that Hector did her second time. But the cat was a bit sick and a bit weird, so it killed almost all the kittens except one, which is still alive and we call her Smallie or something like that. This cat had another litter, and from those, we still have Spock and Ant....
Man, I'll tell you this, having three sets of kittens is fucking awesome when you're not paying for it.
We didn't kill any kittens. Some were stillborn, but most were given away (Except the ones the psycho cat killed )
Anyway, cats are awesome. Most people sort of speak to them I guess, but it's not like you think they understand you, right? right?
our dogs are treated as if they were our children. So much so that our parents get them presents on Christmas and birthdays. The cards are signed "from grandma and grandpa"

I only ever pronounce it properly when he is in trouble
there are many derivations of his name: cwunchews, cwunchamacat, and cwunchimas, to name a few
I have also composed two songs about him
okay
I mean geez
my dog's name is shannon
various nicknames for my dog
dongle
doodle
Shon
shan
shanny
shannyface
Today I wrote one called 'Gravey: Magnificent Child Queen of the Apartment.'
edit: it's basically just me singing the title in falsetto while I chase my cat around the apartment
i am saving up for a companda
I babytalk my cat something fierce although I try not to and she has a lot of nicknames, one of which is "countess night maggot"
I can't remember how that came about.
The first two are sexual and the last one is fucking.
Extraordinary takes time
ahahahahahaha that's fucking great
I have two, one for good behavior and one for bad
the good behavior song is to the tune of the monkees theme song
the other is a dirge

A: There is not.
One is a Great Dane cross with something else, and he is huge.
The other is a morbidly obese Golden Labrador.
Fat dogs are a lot cuter than fat people.
he's a cutie
the same goes for cats

I feel kind of bad for doing it though.

and Lucky, a moggy stray who just never left.

his middle name is Hot Dog Fingers, though
Leo Hot Dog Fingers Mcgee

Beats her given name of 'Leah'.
(Fun fact: the humane society had named the dog in the cage next to hers 'Colonel Cream Puff'.)
Col. Cream Puff earned that title.
He was a pilot in WWI
this is fact

Your cat looks like Orca dude.
although my idiotic younger brother insists that it would be spelled Meesha
I call her Mish
she is the cutest
she's not that fat
