Things You Say to Your Pet That Would Sound Wrong if Said to a Human
"Hey! My bra is not a chew toy!"

You remind me of the time I was giving a co-worker a "cat report" (at her request). When I told her Alex rolls on the floor begging me to rub his tummy, another co-worker said, "If I didn't know Alex was your cat, that would sound very strange!"

There are so many strange things I say to the cats, I wouldn't know where to start. I blame a certain amount of it on the fact that I live alone, so I am just making conversation. "So cats, what should we have for dinner?" "Do you guys want to go to bed now?" I guess "Goddammit, stop using the bath mat to bury your shit!" would top the list of 'things that would sound wrong if said to a human.'

"Yay for good pooping!" (OK, one would say this to a child ... but not to an older human.)
