Sort of fun.

Got home late last night (2am). Walked over to the dumpster to throw away a banana peel and saw a white/black cat. She acted scared and started to back away so I meowed. She stopped and walked over, so I petter her and walked back towards my car, meowing some more (follow me) and she meowed back and followed.

Tried to feed her a cracker - didn't like it.

Tried to feed her a piece of bread - didn't like it.

Went in my apartment/poured a little bit of my precious Silk Nog in a dish, she didn't like it. (Picky little %$# lol)

Grabbed some tempeh that I made a few nights back and didnt like. And she ate it up, so I got the rest of it and put it in a small cardboard box and put it out in the field away from the apartments.

It was just sort of neat how she would meow back and follow me when I meowed. I don't know any deer calls so they just kick n' run when I try to get close to feed them apples n stuff.

yeah...

k bai!

Meow?

Wow, that cat is a pickier eater than me! hahaha. Glad you made a new friend. The cat does have good taste in eating tempeh though.

My cats love soy anything.

Forget the cat. Why didn't you compost the banana peel?

Well, I suppose I could have tossed it into the field.

 

[troub]

companion animals?

this was a wild tiger, not a pet

I always meow at cats, it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Imitating any other animal is a bit too undignifying.

hmmm, i'm not sure i find it undignifying but other animals don't seem to like it as much/ get it.

like, if i meow at a cat (which i do all the time) they seem to understand i'm talking to them, and they know i'm saying something along the lines of: it's alright, come here.

if i bark at a dog: doesn't get it.

moo at a cow: doesn't get it.

neight at a horse: doesn't get it.

cats are cool like that.

I meow back at cats all the time. There's a lot of cats around here.

I make animal noises at animals all the time my daughter has picked it up from me and will meow at cats.

Hmm, I generally just say the word, like if a horse tries to get across his issues with me I'll generally reply with "Yes, neigh." But this gets me even more weird looks

My cat and me sit there on the bed sometimes and meow at each other. My partner thinks its cool.

Or I will talk to her and she meows to me.

She is so awesome.

 

[nkace]

So where is this cat now? Is it collared or anything?

I meow to my kitty as well! I really thought I was the only person who did that. She meows back too, I sometimes wonder what I'm talking about. In fact she's probably getting really frustrated because I pretty much just make the same sound that she does. It must be like that repeating everything you say game that kids play.
