I tell her "excuse me" when she is in my way and she'll move. Or I will ask her if she needs to "go potty" and she will jump up ready to go outside. I will also tell her to "go find Patty" (Patty is my teenage daughter) and she will search the house until she finds her. And when my dad comes over I will tell her "your dad is here" (she thinks he's her Dad because we all call him Dad...lol) and she will run to the front door excited. I've had many pets thoughout my life but my Ginger is unique.

I also, speak to my dog, ...Aww! That is so cute. :)<br />I also, speak to my dog, and by using her name, or saying something like "Are you sitting?", she can catch on to what I am saying. When she barks, I "bark" back. I say "I know!" or "No way!". It's cute, and we both love it. :) Pets are smarter than some people give them credit for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-40881294578249839342011-03-01T23:57:44.255-08:002011-03-01T23:57:44.255-08:00I think I'm as normal as everyone here.

I'm sure they all understand me because I can see it from their eyes, they like to listen to me and I tell them everything. How could I not to talk to them???

Sometimes they look at me like I am crazy but I don't care. I keep talking. I also apologize to them if I accidentally step on their tail or feet. People think I am crazy and I guess I am when it comes to my animals. Sometimes I rather talk to them than to other human beings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-61097005810969613052011-03-01T12:29:02.452-08:002011-03-01T12:29:02.452-08:00Not only do I talk to our dog Curly all the time, ...Not only do I talk to our dog Curly all the time, I sing to him as well! I have several songs I have "created" for him.

So I mewmewed at her for 30 minutes and she looked at me like I was nuts but she stayed there. Then I went and got her some food. She ended up staying and we still have long conversations mostly in her language. Of course her name is Mewmew.

She comes and finds me several times a day to check if I am OK and have a word!! Lucy doesn't "talk" to me as such but when I come in or she enters a room I'm in she always walks up to me and holds out a paw and stretches it towards me almost as though she wants to shake paws. They both sit on me in the evening and change places regularly so they get equal knee and foot time!! They also both sleep on the bed curled up to me at night!! If I feel low they always seem to make that extra fuss of me. They are not siblings but were rescues from a house which had more than 100 cats there.Hannah and Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349810117072020253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-66653093283293351292011-03-01T10:55:34.559-08:002011-03-01T10:55:34.559-08:00Jabbers, that is so cute.

So sometimes they get the meaning just from the tone of your voice. This is a great article. <br /><br />I thank our cat often. When I leave I tell her goodbye and to have a good day and to be good. <br /><br />She is very responsive when my husband talks to her. Her tail does a little dance. It is very funny. She could be asleep (or at least we think she is) and he will say her name and her tail leaps up into the air and does a little wiggle. It is very, very funny. My voice does not get that response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-42328102286231368892011-03-01T10:30:14.833-08:002011-03-01T10:30:14.833-08:00I loved this!
