Do you talk to your animals?

Having a Siamese and an Oriental Cat, they never shut up so we are always talking to them. I don't really talk to the snakes though, I talk more to the rodents. Usually the ASFs as they try to bite me when i move them around.

"wull hi there cutie..HII. Whatcha doin. Hm? Whatcha dooin?"

I was drinking Coffee (I know this late, Im a coffee freak!) and almost washed my computer screen with it when I saw this. LOL!

I scoffed loudly when I read the title and rolled my eyes...

Then I caught myself talking to my Het Amel girl cause she was honery... D'oh! :rofl:

I'm totally guilty of using the baby voice with any animal...horse, dog, cat, snake, fish (yes, I'm that bad). Granted I grew up around people who did that as well so it was completely normal behavior. They may not understand me, but when I'm doing that I'm also calm and relaxed and giving off nonthreatening signals-and a lot of animals pick up on that as well as my tone of voice. So it's just another form of communication. :)

I talk to my animals out loud all the time, I will even occasionally use a baby voice. I have no doubt I will do it to my snakes to once I finish setting up for them.

I talk with my animals all the time, I walk in the room, the carpet python wakes up and starts looking around, i tell her to "go back to bed" and she usually does. the bearded start going crazy and I tell them, "no your not getting food, calm down" but they don't listen also might do some head bobs back at the males that bob at me.

then sometimes ill open the cages of snakes trying to get out and talk to them, or when I watch tv with them, that when the conversations start. the bigger snakes will sometimes talk back lol.

feeding time I have to talk to the jag "ok pyscho, give me more than half a second to open the cage" or "no you already ate, stop giving me that look"

Oh god, yeah. All the time. :D

It's really half and half, though - sometimes the baby voice, sometimes not. Depends who I'm with. My dad talks to the cat, so... maybe it's inheritable? Bahahah. I have phrases and praises for every animal. I just love 'em all so much - my beardie is the "big man" and my ball is my "beautiful girl". I call my cockatiel a "chubby chicken". :rofl:

And the dog, well, he's just a dolt. :rolleyes:

I use a high pitched annoying voice for my dog.

But I just talk normal to my reptiles.

guilty... i do it ALL the time! And what's worse, I use a baby voice... yes i do. but i love my snakes, and i would give so much up for them.(money, job, popularity, friends. that kind of things)
