Our pets have a way of endearing themselves to us. Even though their presence can mean giving us more chores to do in our already busy lives, subconciously, they create a bond with us, such that we start to treat them as our kids and even talk to them like mummies and daddies. ;P
I find myself guilty of this whenever Sanju follows me to the kitchen to beg for wet food. Even if he'd just had dinner, he will always have room for a snack of steamed chicken or fish, canned sardines, mackerel or tuna (he's not fussy). He would meow impatiently and I would go: "Orh, la la la", a sort of a "there, there" which English parents would say to comfort their children (according to storybooks). See what this fur baby has reduced me to? ;-~
Get a grip on yourself, woman!

Haha..I wonder what our furball friends think about being treated like kids with such kiddish lingo even :)
And my auntie,who is in her 80s, speak to an adopted dog, in English. I guess it is no different from grandparents having to learn English to communicate with their grandchildren. Dogs and cats are like grandchildren who only understand Singlish.
I know for a fact that my Beauty hates being talked down to .. she demands to be treated like a human adult.
As for Alex, he thrives on baby talk.
Dim Sum & Carma just wants cuddles. Don't care if I can talk or not as long as I keep those cuddles coming.
Give me 5 years, I will be these confused old bat! LOL
Your beauty knows when she's being talked down to? Wow, smart cat!
Bujang likes me to sing his name out loud Bu..uu..jaanggggg. Akira just comes whenever she feels like it and Toro being very manja will sing to me. Haha
Hey san, Toro is gorgeous, and Akira is a spunky well-built calico! ;)
How nice to have several cats in the home. I still need to train my hubby to accept that. :(
