If your cat or dog suddenly spoke one sentence and never spoke again, what would he/she

[debm55]

say. Dolly-I love you, mom. Tinker, the cat. Why can't I have moist food like Dolly???

Edited to have it make sense

[spooky3]

1. (Cat): "let me go outside without my leash. I promise I won't get into trouble!" Nt

[debm55]

4. We tried to put tinker on a lease to walk her. She was from a shelter and only has one eye. I am

afraid to let her out. I am glad your cat will walk on a leash.

[rurallib]

2. My cat "Feed me"

[debm55]

6. Don't they all?------

[rurallib]

9. pretty limited vocabulary

'Feed me', 'pet me', 'going to the litterbox', 'touch me and I'll rip your arm off', 'turn up the heat'

[debm55]

15. You got it all down. -------

[IcyPeas]

3. Sometimes I'm alone...

[debm55]

7. That is so adorable.

[Emile]

27. LOL

[snot]

53. Love that!

[TlalocW]

5. My two cats

Stop singing to us!
Yeah, you're horrible!

[debm55]

8. Now that is funny.

[DBoon]

10. Dog: "I gotta pee. Let me out!"

[debm55]

16. Or I will just have to make pee here.

[Croney]

11. I saw what you did.

[debm55]

22. HAHAHAHA, Yes they see all and know all.

[intrepidity]

12. "I'm bored! Stop staring at that little screen and let's go adventuring!" nt

[debm55]

17. True--there are new sights and smells to explore.

[jls4561]

13. I had one beagle. When he was about two years old, I started thinking about getting him a

brother beagle. One day, we are going into the local dog park and some guy greets us with “Hey, you want another beagle? “. Of course, I replied “Everyday!” The guy said that seriously, some lady was looking to re-home a beagle. So we went across and found the lady and the beagle and her little boy. Jake came to their household from an older relative who could no longer care for him, and although they wanted to keep him, he was a runner and their unfenced home near a busy road made them decide that it would be best to re-home him. So the lady and I talked while the dogs played and it was decided that Jake would join us at my house later that afternoon.

Jake arrived on time, along with his food, bed and vet records. Since he was only 6 months old, he was immediately scoping out the house and deck in that very excited about everything puppy way.

Meanwhile, Lydia the cat, took one look at him and GLARED at me. I heard, distinctly, “Not another one of those big nosed dogs!”

That was the only time she ever spoke to me. And yes, they all learned to get along. Once the cat food bowl was moved high out of beagle range.

[debm55]

19. What a wonderful post. Thank you for sharing with us and thank you for your kindness.

[virgdem]

14. "Feed me now, woman"

[debm55]

20. You got that right and I will add "I need the whole couch to sleep on"---cat

[Raven123]

18. Forget the main meal. Pass the treats

[debm55]

21. Yes, the treats. Got to have me some treats.

[Think. Again.]

23. "I love you too."

(she says it all the time, just not in english)

[Sneederbunk]

24. Dog: What is the meaning of life?

[Walleye]

25. You expect me to eat this, that plate has been on the floor since this morning.

[debm55]

28. LOL

[Emile]

26. I'm hungry!

[debm55]

29. With those big,round eyes

[Ocelot II]

30. My dish is empty.

[debm55]

32. And with it the stare-like how dare you?

[AnnaLee]

31. WHERE'S MY BALL!!!!

[debm55]

33. And I want it NOW!

[Ocelot II]

34. Or, in the case of a couple of my old former tomcats:

WHERE ARE MY BALLS?

[debm55]

36. LOLOLOLOL

[surrealAmerican]

35. "I want that bunny!"

... or "Let me at it!"


We know, girl - we know.

[debm55]

37. "And I want it NOW"

[sakabatou]

38. Two things:

"Feed me!" or "My bowl is empty!"

or

"Where's my fan club?" Seriously, my cat adores being petted and given attention by people on my block. However, her "fan club" hasn't come by in a while. I think it's because it's summer break.

[debm55]

39. Dolly does that on her 3x walks. She has to visit with certain neighbors, sniff their dogs. etc. It

is a part to the walk. I like your use of the words "fan club" . Do you mind if I use?

[sakabatou]

40. Sure!

It may be due to my cat being the only one who doesn't run away from people. All the other cats on my block are very shy.

[milestogo]

41. Can we go to the dog park right now?

[debm55]

42. Then you get the pleading doggie eyes

[3catwoman3]

43. 4cats.

“It’s been 15 minutes since you last fed me, and I’m STARVING!!!

[debm55]

44. Tinker--"Dry food mountain fell down, can't eat unless you make another mountain"

[3catwoman3]

45. I can't leave dry food out because one of the...

…10 month old Siamese kittens would eat until it was all gone. He never leaves a single morse, already has something of a belly, so as soon as he is a year old, I’ll put him on a weight control formula.

His sister stops when she has had enough, as do the two 11 yr old cats.

[debm55]

46. I wonder why he is so hungry. I had a Siamese from the Shelter. We named her Rose. When Rose passed

we got another Siamese shelter cat. Called her Kimmy. Took her to the vet and she was a he. So we had KimChee.

[ailsagirl]

47. "Lord, what fools these mortals be." nt

[debm55]

48. lolololol very good

[hunter]

49. Let's go hunt pigs!

Her parents were pig hunters. Her breed of dog hunts pigs.

Sad for her, I don't.

An in-law gave her to us when he went off to college.

[debm55]

50. I had a Shiba Inu. Their breed was used for hunting wild pigs in Japan. I think they call them boar.

[thatcrowwoman]

51. My Molly Good Golly says It's time to go out so I can sniff everything and leave some pee-mails.

Then we can nap in the sun on the deck or on the meadowlawn!
(2 sentences because one is rarely enough for her. The stories she tells!)

She’s my 10-going-on-11 year-old rescue pittie. I’m her 3-score-and-more year-old rescue crow. We’re growing old and silvery-gray together.

Doctor Doolittle isn’t the only one who talks with the animals. Plenty of us here on DU at Deb’s Daily Question Thread🧵 do too.
Thanks for this one, Deb.
🕊tcw

[debm55]

52. Thank you, thatcrowwoman.

[Generic Brad]

54. Clearly it would be related to his most immediate need

Cats pretty much live in the moment.

[debm55]

57. Thats true

[Mad_Dem_X]

55. I would hope that he would say, "I love you."

[debm55]

56. Me too

[Auggie]

69. Or (cat), "Thanks for letting me adopt you."

[debm55]

71. Thank you, Auggie, reminding us of our shelter cats.

[Laffy Kat]

58. My dog: "What happened to my sister? She's been gone since March."

[debm55]

59. So sorry, Laffy.

[Laffy Kat]

60. Thanks, I'm okay now.

I just know it must have been so confusing for Halo, my surviving doggo.

[wnylib]

61. My cat, Ember: "Food."

[debm55]

62. So true,

[wnylib]

63. She would not need a full sentence.

She very rarely meows in her own cat language. So she would get right to the point in one word.

[debm55]

64. Cats are like that--right to the point.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

65. żDnde est mi entrega?

I order things for Sunny once a month from Chewy. He knows he is getting something delivered just for him.

I think he would say it in spanish, not because he's a Chihuahua, but he he responds to spanish faster than English.
It takes him a minute if I give him in English, as if he is thinking of the translation. But in Spanish it's boom, instant response.

He is a pistol, I tell you!

[debm55]

66. He sounds like it.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

70. I'm always learning stuff about him.

See, was not his first ward, as it were.

The first person he took care of was an elderly lady. Her daughter was going to keep him a let him enjoy being a pet. But without a person to help he was depressed.

The elderly lady was a patient of my old GP. Told him the issue and he contacted me. He knew I was alone, could us some company and a helping paw.

We had a meeting and hit it off.

We've been a team ever since.

He's my in house emotional therapist, my physical therapy coach/cheerleader, and in extreme circumstances, my St Bernard.

He's my mild manner Sonny, but he is also Super Chihuahua.

[Niagara]

67. Moppit would say:

"Holy flipping hell, Woman...stop putting that medicine in my ears...you damn well know there is a no touching the cat rule, what is you're flipping problem...do I look like I want to be touched, hellllll no, go get bent and when you do that, go get bent again...I'm sick of this low-rent garbage and I'm sick of being touched!"


Normally on a good day it would be, "Feed me!"




Disclaimer: We had to schedule a vet appointment last Friday and they gave her an appetite stimulant that I have to put in her ear. They also did all her senior exam stuff since we were already there. She was devouring her food all way up to yesterday and stopped eating. The vet doesn't want her losing any more weight.

I had to make another appointment for today since she stopped eating and since she wasn't eating I couldn't drug her with the gabapentin to make her calm before her appointment. Without doing x-rays, the vet decided it was a bronchial issue and gave her an antibiotic and steroid shot. I thought that Moppit was going to murder the vet and the assistant while the vet was examining her chest. Luckily, the assistant had scratch proof gloves on, but there was no mistaken the growling and threats that Moppit was throwing out at her appointment today.

[debm55]

68. moppit is a fiesty one
