Burndoutw8ress, Pet Psychic


I think I have finally lost it! I have just spent the last 20 minutes having a conversation with my cat.


Mia, while cut as hell, is an incessant crier. She whines this tiny little Meow at all hours of the day and night and for no good reason I might add. She only started this little habit after the EX left a year or so ago. Can she really be missing her?


Ok so I did try to be understanding at first but now I am ready to kill her. That incessant little cry is annoying! I try everything: treats, a belly rub, petting, brushing, nothing works. She doesn't want anything, she just likes to hear herself I think.


So I pulled Mia onto my lap and asked her "what can I do to make you stop this whining?". She stared at me with those big golden eyes like, "but whatever are you talking about mommy?" then she starts purring. Augh! We are going to get to the bottom of this I say to her. I start talking with her as if I am her shrink. "Ok Mia what are you feeling right now". No answer just continued purring. This one sided conversation goes on until I realize that I am indeed talking to a cat and she is going to do whatever she wants. Cats are finicky that way.

  1. that's what I love about cats--you have to earn their respect.

    we had one cat who couldn't meow to save her life. She sounded like Yoko Ono. Her mother would just look at her as if to sat "WTF?"

  2. P.S.-- I love that the word verification I got for my comment was "subslit." I just couldn't let that pass...

  4. I talk to my cats daily...Im pretty sure its normal, for the most part. Cats are finicky but they love, love, love attention! I think she just wants to cuddle!

  5. i swear i think it's their way of talking to you or something. i have 4 cats (yes, 4) and 2 of them follow me around and cry. they typically stop when i check to see if their food is full, or if i pet them for a bit, but sometimes NOTHING WORKS. part of the joy of having cats :) except at like, 3am. there's no joy in that.

  6. I used to talk my dog for hours as a kid. Probably why I'm a bit unstable now. XD Kittens are cute...but I'm much more of a dog person so I'd probably never own a cat. They think they are people with fur. Dogs aren't as picky as some cats can be. XD

  7. I *always* talk to my pets. They look at me like they understand some times! Other times I'm just another talking head that makes no sense. I s'pose there are people who relate to me the same way though so I can't blame it on the pets. ;o)

    it is so funny that you mentioned the show "Cats", it is actually coming to Pittsburgh and I along with some friends are going to try to go. I've never seen it but I heard it is fantastic! Thanks for stopping by, meow!

    Your right Nothing Works! Wow 4 cats, are you crazy? If I were you I'd buy that thing advertised on animal planet for your cats to be toilet trained! That's a lot of cat litter!

    "They think they are people with fur", you hit the nail right on the head with that one! I'm the opposite of you, I've always had cats, never had a dog and don't really want one!

    yea I hear you about people and pets giving you that blank look when you're talking to them! Does your cat stare at you for like minutes on end? It is really freaky!
