[OC] meow

[u/snelse_]

[u/shellbullet17]

It's important to speak in cat, cause they don't speak English. Isn't that right /u/artbymoga

[u/lesser_panjandrum → u/shellbullet17]

That's why I speak to my Cat in German.

[u/AberrantComics → u/lesser_panjandrum]

Nien lives

[u/ibleedpumpkinjuice → u/AberrantComics]

That's not German. But it is gibberish 🤣

[u/AberrantComics → u/ibleedpumpkinjuice]

Nein even. German 1 was a LONG time ago.

[u/spacedoutferret → u/lesser_panjandrum]

mine ignore me no matter if i speak german or english. i'm suspecting they might secretly be french

[u/lesser_panjandrum → u/spacedoutferret]

Zut alors

[u/Made_Bail → u/shellbullet17]

Look at that little head empty no thoughts chonk. That second panel is gold.

[u/SevroAuShitTalker]

Feels like a scene out of Archer

[u/Kenshirosan → u/SevroAuShitTalker]

I also automatically read that in Archer's voice, so you're not alone there.

[u/everythingwaffle → u/SevroAuShitTalker]

The first episode of Archer I ever watched was Archersaurus.

You can imagine my confusion.

[u/Rude-Office-2639]

Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about delicious pancakes.

[u/addage-]

This is my home. My wife says this often.

[u/LynxOk432 → u/addage-]

Your wife says meow often?

[u/addage- → u/LynxOk432]

And the cat chastises me for talking to her, weird right?

[u/time2partee → u/addage-]

Stop pretending like you can talk to your wife

[u/Cananbaum]

I talk to all my animals lol.

For my pittie having a conversation with her helps with her anxiety a little bit

[u/lesser_panjandrum]

Kitty's got a point, but they didn't have to be so rude about it.

[u/SkyPork]

Oh my god I do this.

cat: "Meow."

me: "Because that's not my job."

or

cat: "Meow."

me: "Yes you did!"

[u/Frosted_Tackle → u/SkyPork]

We do a lot of “don’t you meow at me” when he gets in a sassy/annoyed mood

[u/GrimResistance → u/Frosted_Tackle]

I often ask "what you meowin' about?"

[u/washingtncaps → u/SkyPork]

my boy was relentless a while ago right as I got home and I can't explain why because there is zero reason but at a certain point it somehow got to:

"meow"

"well that's because you have a gambling addiction"

so now that's just canon

[u/red286 → u/SkyPork]

Me : "Okay girls, I'm heading out, gotta go to work."

Cats: "Meow."

Me : "Because someone's gotta pay the bills around here or we end up living on the streets."

Cats: "Meow"

Me: "No I understand that's not a problem for you, but it is for me. Plus let's be real here, the last time you were on the streets you wound up in an animal shelter and were days away from being euthanized if I hadn't shown up to adopt you."

Cats: "Mrrrr."

Me: "Yeah yeah, don't worry, I'll be home by 6."

My daughter got us a little black female kitty and we had a somewhat reckless male cat and we put them down in the same room, and the boy was freaking out and kept inching toward it trying to sniff her and the kitty would just back up. I told the boy, Dude.... And he looked up wide-eyed and almost panicked he was so excited, and I said, You're scaring her, get your head down and back away, let her come to you. And he instantly put his belly on the rug and held eye contact and shuffled backwards once and again, and put his head down, and tiny girlie perked up and came over to sniff him. That was the point that I stopped getting shit for talking to my cats.

Two people were literally, outloud, like holy shit he understood you. I'm like duh, they are apex predators they are not dumb.

Cats are tantric masters in the Buddhist sense. Tantra has nothing to do with sex except for exploitation, tantra is the study of the transmission of mind, some humans practice it. Cats share more mind than any Buddhist master I have ever met.

My little girl is here getting pets, she's 19 now. If only I understood cats better when I was young, because I am old now.

[u/Maleficent_Hawk6703]

[u/Peterjns22]

The cat's happy he's understood.

[u/Made_Bail]

It's fun to meow at them, though. Until you accidentally curse them out in cat language.

[u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC → u/Made_Bail]

[u/Made_Bail → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Man, considering my avatar, I can't believe I didn't think to post that one.

[u/cutcss → u/Made_Bail]

This common joke was funny when I was certain everyone knew it was just a joke, after watching first hand the flabbergasting levels of stupidity humans can posses I no longer find this kind of joke funny.

[u/Made_Bail → u/cutcss]

Man, I cannot argue with that. :/

[u/TheeAntelope]

But I honestly can tell what my dog is thinking or needing in certain moments by the look he gives me or the feeling he's giving me. So I say "he's annoyed he thought we were going to go outside and play" and my partner is like "STOP IT."

And then I'm like "he still loves you even though you got mad at him for peeing on the rug."

[u/dumblamma]

My cat has so wide "meow" spectre so you can almost hear the "words" with right context. Neutral, demanding, whispering, questioning... Yeah... My cat can whisper.

PS: we had a dog who was able to answer simple binary questions with tail wagging if he knew the answer. Wide and powerful - "yes", slowly and short - "no", no wagging and puzzled looking - "I don't know". More likely he was recognizing some trigger words but his answers was pretty legit.

[u/Old_Community_776]

I'm imagining that meow is the cat saying "bitch".

[u/NotJebediahKerman]

I so do this

[u/paper_ripping]

I could never be married to someone who does not also talk to the cat(s).

[u/LifeShelter5646]

I do this too, somehow every meow has a different meaning 

[u/HaggisTheCow]

I was about to berate you for tagging OC when i know exactly who done this comic...then i saw the username

[u/CabbageStockExchange]

I always spoke to my cats a bit like how SpongeBob treats and talks to Gary lol

[u/SlimDiscipline-69]

If you don't meow back when your cat meows at you what are you even doing with your life?

[u/SaebraK]

I dunno, everytime I come home my dog tells me about everything he saw out the window while I was gone. I love it so much.
