1. I regard my cat as a little hairy roommate with an attitude and a few strange habits,

rather than as a child, so I don't talk baby talk to her. I think she would be insulted.

[intrepidity]

9. Same with my dog

He rolls his eyes enough at me as it is.

[orangecrush]

17. Agree on the first part

Furry roommate.

But she is also my little cat o nine!

[Deuxcents]

2. I sweet talk to my Ruby..not baby talk but I do praise her a lot.

Even tho she splashes the litter around sometimes to my displeasure but I’m always sweet. I think

[orangecrush]

18. Same deal with litter here

Which is why I can't buy "light" cat litter!


It would be everywhere!

[mucifer]

3. My cat's name is Mr. Boo so you guess my answer

[orangecrush]

13. I hear in my imaginination

An entire series of "Boo's" after the first one!

[FirstLight]

4. I also call my kitten a "bootyhole-licker" when she agressively grooms our older boy cat

We tell the dog we're gonna "old yeller" her when she shits on the floor

And the loud ass older cat when he's singing the SONGGGG of His Peopleeee get's told to shut the fuck up!

But when they are being cute and fluffy, they are my little muffins and my dog is such a sweet bayyyby... we have many words of love and appreciation...


so yeah, toddlers without censorship

[orangecrush]

14. Same here

I have a little parlor panther who is my second shadow.

[Faux pas]

5. ...

I didn't do baby talk to my children or my cats. I make up songs and stories and they all had a million nicknames. That's why my kids and all the cats I've had are/were so smart.

[orangecrush]

16. I talk to my baby

And sometimes she rolls her big yellow saucer eyes at me!

[Faux pas]

26. Lol

[Raine]

6. I call mine sweetie, honey and baby

so I guess I talk baby talk to any and all of them.

[orangecrush]

19. No shame

You're not alone!

[Laffy Kat]

7. Yes, even to my deaf doggo. nt

[orangecrush]

20. He feels the vibrations

And the kindness, no doubt!

[Trueblue1968]

8. my Sally boy cat is my Little SallyManDer.

[orangecrush]

21. Love it!

My little black Bombay is my little sweetie cat o nine and how could anyone be so mean to her? (She was a stray rescue.)

[Trueblue1968]

27. ALL of our 5 cats were rescue kitten cats.

[orangecrush]

28. Noel says thank you

For saving her friends!

[malthaussen]

10. You kidding? I don't baby talk to babies. n/t

[orangecrush]

22. It's o.k.

I personally just enjoy letting go and being silly sometimes.

[Niagara]

11. Absolutely!

Our senior cat is now 18 years old. She makes the rules in the house and sometimes without warning those rules change.


When I met her when she was only 8 years old, I talked her in a normal tone and she would growl at me. By the way, I'm a pet step-parent to her.


I started baby talking to her some years ago and she responds positively and is more agreeable. Some phrases are:


"Who's a cutesy-girl?"
"Who's a pretty girl?"
"Hi Honeypies!"
"Good girl."
"Such a happy, confident kitty."
"Do you wants pets at the food dish?"

Moppit only allows petting at the food dish and only at the food dish. If she's had enough, she will snip at the hand without taking the actual bite.

23. THANK YOU!

I just added those phrases to my kitty vocabulary!

12. My Cat

is a sleek black serial killer. I talk to her like she's an adult human.

[orangecrush]

24. My cat

Is a miniature black panther (Bombay) whose breed was developed for exactly that purpose.

Her "unofficial" name is "Cat O Nine"

[raccoon]

15. If I don't, she'll think I'm talking to a person.

[orangecrush]

25. It's a special language

To communicate with special friends!
