What do your pets call you? (silly)

^What it is really.
Are you a mum/dad? Do you go by your first name? Or are you a pack leader?
We recently got a pet dog, and my kids think it's weird that the dog 'calls' dh and I mum and dad.

My very old and very posh cat calls us "Mother" and "Father".

WanderingMind · 09/09/2019 16:09

I was always mum to my cats.
Though they had a sarcastic voice on occasion if I wasn't speedy enough putting Dreamies in front if them! 😁

"The tin-opener"

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 09/09/2019 16:10

Dp and I are mummy and daddy to the cat. Blush she is our baby.

AsahiGo · 09/09/2019 16:10

Haha, do your pets have specific voices then? If anyone has seen Up! I imagine our dog having the voice of the Doberman

Mine is ‘feed me bitch’ and ‘I know you’ve just fed me but I’m greedy so feed me more bitch’

Cats 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m their servant

GlassSuppers · 09/09/2019 16:12

My cat calls me "woman" I can see in her face she is plotting my demise.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 09/09/2019 16:12

I would imagine pets think of humans as fucking idiots. The way I see people talking to cats and dogs makes me think they are idiots too.

sweetkitty · 09/09/2019 16:14

The dog Bestest Mummy on the planet I Love you
The cat oi servant get over here with the Dreamies (with a click of paw) if your lucky I might allow you to scratch my ear

littlepaddypaws · 09/09/2019 16:14

to a very entitled guinea pig [with a 'i love me' badge on her indoor house] i am the maid, food provider, and cleaner. my roleis to pamper and fuss over her as and when she wants me to. i guess my title would be servant.Grin

TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble · 09/09/2019 16:14

My parents have a very spoilt bengal. She addresses all cards and presents for them to "Mummy" or "Daddy". They say it, too, as in "Daddy will tickle your tummy" or "come to mummy for Dreamies". I still say mummy and daddy and they still say it to me in relation to themselves/each other (I'm 29) so I think it's just a follow on from me.

MyCatPeedOnTheCurtains · 09/09/2019 16:14

Slave 1 and Slave 2 probably.

Wolfff · 09/09/2019 16:16

Mother-cat and Father-cat. Sometimes Mummy-cat or Daddy-cat.

FairyDust92 · 09/09/2019 16:17

2 of the cats would call me mummy the other one would probably call me peasant as she thinks she's the bloody queen 👑

Calic0 · 09/09/2019 16:17

My cat calls me Mummee (and for some reason she can’t spell it properly). She has a slight East London accent which is odd because she came from a rescue centre in West Yorkshire.

She does not like my DH and will only call him Daddee reluctantly when he is offering her treats. She takes the treats and then threatens to eat his face when she has moved away to a safe distance.

MTBMummy · 09/09/2019 16:18

DCat calls me "thing I would kill without hesitation, if I was bigger" - and frequently tries to trip on the stairs to remind me of this fact.

DDog calls me, "where's dad?" Despite being my dog, he's attached himself to DP, and won't eat his food if I feed him, until DP comes along and shows him his food.

gwenneh · 09/09/2019 16:19

DH is Food Guy, I am The Other One.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 09/09/2019 16:19

This is Lord Havelock Vetinari, Tyrant and Supreme Patrician of Ankh Morpork and (our town). Havelock or Little Man for short.
He speaks with an RP accent and a slight lisp (we don’t mention the lisp, he’s a bit sensitive about it)

The Food Pourer

cornstarch · 09/09/2019 16:22

The dog never learnt our names. We are just the man and the woman to him.

msmith501 · 09/09/2019 16:23

Our cat - a tortoiseshell lady - calls us whenever she needs her needs attended to. No names are necessary - she has no other servants and would be highly amused to think we deserved to have names. She speaks with a cross between a Germanic and Russian accent and is also able (true) to huff down her nose when we disappoint ... which is often and regular.

AsahiGo · 09/09/2019 16:25

Apparently dogs have a parent-child relationship with their adult humans, so naturally our dog refers to us as Mummy and Daddy. To the rabbit, we're simply 'human', and the kids guinea pigs treat everyone as a fast food servers.

My Mum’s dog has “Mummy” (my mum) and “Not-Mummy”, which is me.

If Mummy isn’t there, then Not-Mummy is who you go to for food and walks and love.

Other people also exist but are unnamed.
