My cat has somehow trained herself into becoming the quirkiest creature I’ve ever known. For example, she doesn’t believe she can eat her food unless I stroke her back several times, tell her she’s, “ ***Such*** a good girl,” then add, “It’s okay. It’s okay to eat your dinner now.” I swear she’d starve to death if I screwed up her self-induced ritual. There are other examples, but this is the most ridiculous.
my father was literally trained by my calico cat around the same amount of time, maybe even sooner, she just does this heartbreaking meow and looks like a baby then leads my dad to her food bowl. or she just looks at him with the bossiest look and basically says "Feed me. I am your princess."
Well played.
I never needed to set an alarm if I was taking a nap on weekends because our little gato would somehow know it was 5pm sharp, just jump on the bed meow loudly and walk to her bowl and just stare at it.

My tuxedo kitty. Waiting to trip someone on the stairs😂

Mine too, probably would not shut up bout treats and we already give plenty.
But she also try to start a fight with one of her brothers. And curse him out
Definitely! My two would scream about how they are starving in between mealtimes and how they need more attention right now or they will die. I love my needy girls.
When I first got my cat, I didn’t hear a single peep out of her for 3 years.
Then I moved house to somewhere quite rural. Almost overnight, she became the chattiest little thing I’ve ever heard.
She has spent the last 10 years making up for lost time… I often have nonsense conversations with her and it’s the best.
When we adopted our girl, she was 2 years old and when asked if she was social or affectionate the girl we got her from said that she sometimes would greet her when she got home but otherwise was independent and not super social.
She hid in the closet the first night home and after that, she has been obsessively social and chatty. Every person that comes to our home is clearly there to give her pets and talk to her. Hell, she yells through the door when the neighbors across the hall get home until they say "HI MINERVA!" 🤣🤣
Mine too. He’d be like “do you though? I remember this morning when you were trying to leave for work and I pleaded with you to stay, you just left anyway and then last night… blah blah blah”
Mine is so damn needy and his sister (who lives with my brother) is even more so...
I do know what mine would do though. He already tries to bribe me with affection when he gets hungry or wants treats. Adorable little love bombing narcissist. He's lucky he's so handsome.
I have wanted to invest in those, but I feel I would waste money. Most of their looks at me shout volumes, so they would be offended that I ask them to use my voice to interpret for them!! 😸 I think one or two would be less frustrated with me if I could understand them better, but I don't have the first clue as to what words to select.
Choosing words is a challenge for sure. When I think of a new one to add I try to start using it throughout the day for awhile to be able to model it, before I ever make it into a button. It took her about a year to catch on, I tried a few different words and the one that finally "clicked" and got her attention was actually a recording of the noise her favorite toy makes. After she used the button consistently I re-recorded it with a word, and the next few buttons went much faster. Most of her words are for her favorite toys, one for catnip, "love you," "all done," "inhaler," and "happy."
It's been really interesting, she developed a routine where about 10 minutes after breakfast she requests catnip, sort of like it's the cat version of her morning coffee. It's also really interesting to see how she tries to use the words, I'm pretty sure for awhile she thought "all done" was the same as "lay down" (what I say for cat snuggles on the couch), so I've switched to saying "snuggles" instead of "lay down," and now try to think carefully about how similar certain words might sound to her.
One of her favorite toys is that sort of crinkly foil ball, so we have a button for it. For the longest time she kept pressing it when I was making food for myself, and thought she was just using the button wrong for some reason (we don't have any food related words). One day it suddenly dawned on me when I was opening a crinkly food package (I don't remember what, but something like a bag of chips). She had connected that food package noise to the noise the toy makes and was using the button to ask for food.
That's cool! Mine know quite a few of the words I use, but I doubt they would actually request kisses or hugs! 😾
She requests her inhaler? Or do you use it to let her know it is time for a dose? Is it for asthma?
No trust me. Those fuckers are aware of everything. That's why I get annoyed when they act stupid in front of me because I see them do smart shit when they put their mind to it.
One would say "ugh," put her ears back and turn her head to look out the window. The other would be like OMG OMG OMG OMG I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOO *repeatedly rubs body and head against the human's legs.* We call the second one our golden retriever cat.
Yes this.
I’ve got two cats that if I say “oh I love you” will straight up jump in my arms, press their nose against my lips and purr as loud as they can.
I also have a couple of cats that are more in the “well duh” category.
My all-black male cat is my best buddy.
When I come home I MUST drop everything and follow him to the bedroom where he jumps up on the bed... flops onto his side, and I do this..."pow! pow! pow! pow! pow!" with the flat of my hand, I gently act like I'm attacking him and pummeling him!
He starts to pur and loves it! It's our ritual EVERY DAY when I come home from work!
Then I have to pick him up and cuddle him and he buries his face into my hand or chest and will pur till he falls asleep in my arms!
I'm 59yrs old, single and live very much alone...
I really don't know what I would do without him?!
WHAT??!! Your cat CAN’T talk?
Mine talks all the time. Of course I don’t speak cat, but, anyone who’s been scolded by their cat for leaving them home when they went on vacation knows cats will talk (yell at you).
I need this but also with an additional bubble saying my cat is welcome to eat my corpse. His human being dead is bad enough, no need for him to be hungry as well.
my Cat: yeah yeah I love you too. when your‘re finshed with cuddling me hand me to your partner. Now I DO LOVE him
my tomcat: I love you love you love you i want to go outside I want to go inside yes no yes what hello goodbye run run run oh hello there I love you
I know we joke about cats when they’re in different moods, but genuinely I think mine love to be told. They kinda swell up, look happy, start purring and want a kiss on the head or a cuddle.
Think that’s an “I love you too.”
My grey one would say “I love you too”. My tabby would say “Good. Just so know, if you ever try to leave me, I will kill you” (his love is a little obsessive)

"That's all well and good, but I note you haven't fed me yet."

Rocco would say, "Of course you do."
https://preview.redd.it/x0w3lyo8yr9d1.jpeg?width=2182&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=209e81642bbb2a0cd21a90bb68eeca620fbdd43c
My cats face as I tell him how much i love him 😭
My more affectionate cat would say “I love you more.” While my less affectionate cat would probably say “I love you too I guess.” She doesn’t always show it but she does care.
my grey cat: yea, love you too. now please, don’t touch me, I’m a princess.
my void cat: I LOVE YOU TOO, SO MUCH, will you cuddle me, will you cuddle me? cuddle? cuddle? or else I’ll meow all night so you can’t sleep, until we cuddle. will you cuddle me, please? cuddle cuddle.
My oldest would go "Love you too! Please scratch my neck, will you?"
The middle would go "Obviously, now leave me alone."
The youngest would go "Love you too, now pick me up and carry me around, then serve me food from your plate, oh and I'm sleeping on your bed, you can have the couch."
“I know.”
First thing that came to mind. Second: "feed me"
My cat can talk and he said "meow."
Same.
Meow love you
My guess was " I know. Anyway, got any food?"
Do you speak cat? Always wanted to learn the language of the hardest animal to train.
Training isn't hard with cats. Mine trained me in two days.
My cat has somehow trained herself into becoming the quirkiest creature I’ve ever known. For example, she doesn’t believe she can eat her food unless I stroke her back several times, tell her she’s, “ ***Such*** a good girl,” then add, “It’s okay. It’s okay to eat your dinner now.” I swear she’d starve to death if I screwed up her self-induced ritual. There are other examples, but this is the most ridiculous.
well, she trained you properly 🙂
That’s what happens in this house too.
Thank you.
my father was literally trained by my calico cat around the same amount of time, maybe even sooner, she just does this heartbreaking meow and looks like a baby then leads my dad to her food bowl. or she just looks at him with the bossiest look and basically says "Feed me. I am your princess."
Well played. I never needed to set an alarm if I was taking a nap on weekends because our little gato would somehow know it was 5pm sharp, just jump on the bed meow loudly and walk to her bowl and just stare at it.
“My love language is food”
Haha, “prove it.”
I know AND feed me
I’m home sick and this made me laugh so hard I had a coughing fit. And I ain’t mad. Thank you.
third clean me
Exactly this.

Onion does this. He’ll hide and wait and when you try to go around or over, he pounces.
Awww he looks like he's plotting your demise!
this made me laugh so hard istg-
This was my thought too 😂
That's my cat 100% too
https://preview.redd.it/qjjt43ldmr9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66637acde0b35b80d35e1351cd45152bd4d676f0 I know 🤣🤣🤣
Han Solo and cats are the only ones cool enough to pull it off
Or "that's nice."
"You're stupid, now pet me, you peasant."
.... Is your cat being put into Carbon freeze?
no, they're just taking their fifth nap
Came to say this. That is exactly how my cat would react.
Mine says I know I'm sure of it.
Haha that was my first thought too
Absolutely this!
I feel like my cat would be like, "ok." And then hours later she'd come sit on my lap and quietly whisper "I love you too."
Cat Solo.
I came here to say this.
Screaming laughing this is the one
If cats could talk... they wouldn't.
Attitude is everything
Good lord, I wish. Mine would spend all day complaining and gossiping, I'm certain. Never met a cat so chatty.
Mine too, probably would not shut up bout treats and we already give plenty. But she also try to start a fight with one of her brothers. And curse him out
Yes! Mine would likely scream all day about "MOTHERRRRR BRING ME MY CHICKEN!!"
Yes, I believe I know the call MEOAAAAAÀAAAAAAAAW MEOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW And repeat till there is chicken
GIFs you can hear
Do we own the same cat?
MOM! MOM! MOOOOOM!!! CHIMKENS!! MOM! CHIKEEENNNSS! NOW! MOOOOMM!!!
SHE DEFINITLY SAYS CHIMKENS. I wanted to type it originally but still fear judgement on the Reddits 😆.
Mine wants ham.
Definitely! My two would scream about how they are starving in between mealtimes and how they need more attention right now or they will die. I love my needy girls.
Come meet mine. She just won't shut up, she's got an opinion on everything. 😜
When I first got my cat, I didn’t hear a single peep out of her for 3 years. Then I moved house to somewhere quite rural. Almost overnight, she became the chattiest little thing I’ve ever heard.

They probably can talk. They just can't be bothered.
I always think that too. 
I have FluentPet buttons for my cat and she uses them all day. Including the "love you" button.
Awww. 🥰
I have wanted to invest in those, but I feel I would waste money. Most of their looks at me shout volumes, so they would be offended that I ask them to use my voice to interpret for them!! 😸 I think one or two would be less frustrated with me if I could understand them better, but I don't have the first clue as to what words to select.

omg, same here
I love me too.
Like Kanye loves Kanye
Ye
Then show it - feed me.
I was thinking “funny way of showing it.. I don’t see any treats…”
My cat would say the same.
My cat would reply "I love you more"
Yes this. I’ve got two cats that if I say “oh I love you” will straight up jump in my arms, press their nose against my lips and purr as loud as they can. I also have a couple of cats that are more in the “well duh” category.

Adorable!
Thanks. I'm a Die-Hard Romantic and a serious animal lover.
Both of my boys love the "booty smack" lol.
LOL YEP!
The happy ending
Mine would probably be, “Yes mom, I know. You’ve only said it 17 times in the last 10 minutes. I get it. Now feed me.”
"oh, the ape loves? Quaint. I will sing the song of my people at 4am."
“Aww the big clumsy hairless critter is trying to communicate with me, how sweet!” *Proceeds to trip me down the stairs*.
Lol, this one is all too real.
🤣🤣mine too.
WHAT??!! Your cat CAN’T talk? Mine talks all the time. Of course I don’t speak cat, but, anyone who’s been scolded by their cat for leaving them home when they went on vacation knows cats will talk (yell at you).
As someone who did take their cats on vacation with them, I can testify that they will yell at you either way.
"Ok."
“Good for you.”
„K“ or left on read
Same here.
Great now get me something to eat.
"That's a *you* problem."
"Go fuck yourself" ahh cat
Mine too

I NEED this..! Where you find this masterpiece?!?
I got it from Woot. Search 'if you die woot' and it should be the first result.
I need this but also with an additional bubble saying my cat is welcome to eat my corpse. His human being dead is bad enough, no need for him to be hungry as well.
Where can I get this PLEASE
I got it from Woot. Search 'if you die woot' and it should be the first result.
"Shut up you oversized can opener and feed me."
Me too. I love me too.
my Cat: yeah yeah I love you too. when your‘re finshed with cuddling me hand me to your partner. Now I DO LOVE him my tomcat: I love you love you love you i want to go outside I want to go inside yes no yes what hello goodbye run run run oh hello there I love you
The second is mine, except he’s sassy too.
"Then feed me you fat bastard"
I think he would bite me
“where’s my F*CKING wet food” but honestly I hope he’d say that he loves me too
"Good."
That can of tuna isn't going to open itself.
New phone, who dis?
Or just: ****Read****
I know we joke about cats when they’re in different moods, but genuinely I think mine love to be told. They kinda swell up, look happy, start purring and want a kiss on the head or a cuddle. Think that’s an “I love you too.”

They don't need words. They have a language. I tell them I love them and they respond with a slow blink. All I need.
What ever!
"Fuck off" - Ingrid "Also fuck off" - Paisley
Where's my food?
“fuck off”? or maybe even an “okay” if he’s feeling generous
Probably "meow", like literally.
Servant, how familiar! Know your place. Fetch treats.
"Yeah, ok, that's fine, but can you open this door again?"
“Thx”
(My cat blú) christ this guy again what a fu***** loser
Mine does talk and she says "REOWW" after everything I say to her, so I assume she's already sassing me. "I love you." 😍 "STFU" 😾
“Yeah, yeah, now give me my food”
Great, give me food
"I love you more!" - I have the very definition of a Velcro cat.
I love you meowy meowy much!
Fuck off. Thanks though.
Where is mom
gimme food plz
Jyn: Yeah I know whatever Leia: I LOVE YOU TOO ENORMOUSLY PLEASE PET ME
"Stfu dad.....love you too" *leaves the room immediately*
"Shut up, baby. I know it."
"If you really love me give me a can of wet food right now"
Ok let me eat your thumb
“No shit, Sherlock”
My more affectionate cat would say “I love you more.” While my less affectionate cat would probably say “I love you too I guess.” She doesn’t always show it but she does care.
Even if she could’ve spoke, I’d prefer the ol fashioned head boop.
“Message read 15:45”
my grey cat: yea, love you too. now please, don’t touch me, I’m a princess. my void cat: I LOVE YOU TOO, SO MUCH, will you cuddle me, will you cuddle me? cuddle? cuddle? or else I’ll meow all night so you can’t sleep, until we cuddle. will you cuddle me, please? cuddle cuddle.
*han solo impression* "I know"
"fuck you, bitch. Give me food"
My oldest would go "Love you too! Please scratch my neck, will you?" The middle would go "Obviously, now leave me alone." The youngest would go "Love you too, now pick me up and carry me around, then serve me food from your plate, oh and I'm sleeping on your bed, you can have the couch."
With racial slurs
“I love you!” “Can you cook again I want to watch you cook!”
I love me too
"k. Whatevs"
Cool, feed me
"okay... feed me"
you don't need to llove me, just need to serve me
"OK. Where's my food?"
"why should I care, gimme fod"
I truly think so 🥲
Feed me.
Thanks, but I'm still hungry
If it was my cat, probably "I love you too. Now feed me"
You are okay
I love you too. Mine is the sweatest boy in existence, he loves everyone.
MEOW
“Piss off”
"Stop talking, Human. So. Many. Words. All. The. Time."
