One of our kittens is very talkative. He'll come running into the room bitching up a storm about something. What should I do, ignore him like an a-hole? No, whatever he's talking about is clearly important. Food bowl is empty, water dish is spitting, he wants treats, the shitter's full, whatever. Do your job, peasant.

Talk? Pffffttt. We play cards. Mainly poker.

You sound like a miserable frick.
I talk to my golden retriever all the time. And he's smart enough to understand a lot of it I think,
I did get busted the other day though. I told him "Ollie, you are my ride or die". My wife pipes up from the other room "I thought I was your ride or die!".
I didn't have the guts to tell her that I knew for a fact that no matter how bad things got OllieRoux would be by my side... not so sure about her.

Not only do I talk to my pets I also sing to them. I have a little made up song for each one.

My wife asked me if I had seen the dog bowl.
I said no, but he shoots a mean game of pool.

I see the problem clearly
#1 It is not "our cat" it is we have a cat and we are there to serve it
#2 Clearly the cat mind control is more effective on your wife
#3 Unless you get a dog to talk to, just accept your fate

Not true, hounds are hardheaded but very smart. Certain words (in any cadence) the dogs all seem to know and now we have to spell them out
Chicken is #1
Bacon is #2
Fat is #3
They understand STOP, COME, SIT, STAY, etc but could care less until they want to.

Hahaha what? This is some dumb shite. My dog knows at least 30 words and she’s not even as well trained as some dogs.
Spin, sit, lay, stand, come, no, treat, outside, potty, squirrel, who’s that, duck, ball, frisbee, inside, up, ride, your bed, upstairs, out, my sons name, momma, and more. Each of those words produces a unique response and she knows what they mean.

I enjoy speaking with your wife whe we get a chance to spend a little time together. She told me she loves the cats more than she loves you.

That said, let me take a big risk by asking this: Do you find it annoying when your spouse makes conversation with pets? My wife (no pics) makes a habit of chatting with our cat regularly, and sometimes uses voices.
It gets to be a bit much. Is anyone else irked by this, or something similar?
I find it annoying that you have a pet you don't speak to.

We agreed on no pets. We like to travel. Pets are worse than kids. We love animals, just not as a responsibility.
Posted on 9/19/23 at 5:57 pm to Hoodie
Be a man and tell her how much it irritates you. She’ll probably never do anything annoying again

If you talk to animals enough they start to really understand. I've seen some dogs try and communicate as well.

It's better that I talk to my dog than to myself with no one else in the room.

Bruh when I walk my dog I talk to him and myself. And I answer myself. It’s a three way convo.

Well the worst is when she talks to me through the dog.
"Go tell dad you need to go outside."
Now she's said the magic words "go outside" and got the damn dogs fired up wanting to go outside. I've never once seen our dogs turn down any opportunity to go out.

Pets do learn that some words have meanings.
Several decades ago, my cat in Houston had a really bad flea problem and I'd give her a bath to kill the fleas. Too quickly she learned the word bath, but I found she didn't recognize the word when spelled. After my new husband joined us, she recognized when he said "I'm going to take a bath" and the cat would hide, so he learned to spell for the cat.
That hard "b" sound bothered that cat for the rest of her life (12 years more)

I taught my dog from an early age to go to the front door when we're outside and I say "go home." Saved his arse one time when he was attacked by a mostly peaceful pit bull on our walk one morning.
