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...

Faux pas
(14,957 posts)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.

(20,533 posts)And sometimes she rolls her big yellow saucer eyes at me!

(8,452 posts)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.
😻

(20,533 posts)I just added those phrases to my kitty vocabulary!
