Converse WIth Your Cat

[Texasmujer]

Talking to your cat can help show affection, control behavior issues, and improve your relatiionship with your pet.

Even hough you don't speak the same language, your cat can understand much of your tone of voice and body language. From single-word commands to animated speech, an upbeat intonation can help socialize, soothe, or sweet-talk your cat into becoming a better cat.

Misty loves when Mommy Sings to her..

I am always chatting to my cats, how weird it would be if I did not chat with them. I can then confirm that they are far more aware of the sound of my voice than any pet dog I ever had.

lol

But do they listen when ya tell them to stop doing something? lol

Misty.. NEVER .. lol.. gets yelled at.. but lately I've been trying to get her to get off the counter when I'm opening up her food.. or my tuna fish for a salad.. AND she looks at me.. lol.. and keeps walking towards me.. lol..

I guess with all pets, its learned from the beginning..

When she was a baby.. I used to spray her with a water bottle to get her to stop doing things.. now.. I dont even bother..

She doesn't need to be yelled at that often.. so I just sing.. lol..

but she does come when I call her.. lol..

Well Blinky, she is so not used to getting shouted at that when I do shout at her she completly ignores me and looks about to see what Scamp is doing wrong now..lol

I am wise to her and now know she is a little sneaky one.

LMAO.. Yeah it's easier to pass the blame on someone else.. lmao..

but for the most part... she's not really all that much trouble so she is just assuming.. lol.. its wee scamp eh?

When I shout at Misty.. she ignores me too.. never have to shout at her anyway as she has the run of the place, however, when I call her in a sweet coaxing voice, she comes running.. lol..

I truly believe that cats are extreamlly intelligent..

My kitchen is completely open, and the cats were just gong where they wanted; to prevent this, I enclosed the kitchen with "chicken wire"...that worked--for awhile, that is, until the three-legged cat figured out to get in!! The other cat figured out that she could just climb over the wire...I've given up the struggle...
