to see if he’d yawn back.

I think I’ve finally cracked!

He did btw.

I meow at mine and they meow back and we sit meowing at each other having a conversation.

You're not the only one whose cracked. 😂

I meow at mine and they meow back

That's lovely! When I meow at my cat, he just stares back at me with his 'wtaf is she doing?' look! Grin

I've seen this on tiktok Grin

There's also one where you put a cucumber behind them when they're not looking, and when they see it they leap into the air.

Also one where you scratch your nail across a comb and it makes them heave.

I have tried none of these. Probably because I cracked long ago Grin

I sometimes say "alexa, miaow" to confuse the cats.

WhatKatyDidNxt · 04/02/2021 14:13

Love it! One of my meows back, the others stare blankly at me

I just woke one of mine up to yawn at him. He looks a bit pissed off.

Our old cat made different sounds depending on where on her back or tail you touched.

We made tunes out of her.

You have a very empathetic cat 😻

I try not to yawn in front of the guinea pigs because showing teeth is a dominant behaviour.
They have no qualms about flashing their gnashers at me, but I know my place as a piggy slave.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 04/02/2021 14:42

Yep, I meow & mip at mine & she responds. I also "growl yawn" at the dog (Golden Retriever), she replies too. The answers I get are far more sensible than those Dh & the dc give Grin

My worry about meowing at my cat was always that I don't know if what I've said is inappropriate. Sometimes, judging by the cat's expression, I think it probably was. Blush

If you blow across the top of a glass bottle, they look around all started.
