...shamelessly ripping this off from a thread the other week that started off on something else and then turned, in the middle of the night, into people saying how they voice their pets. Had me crying with laughter and need more!
Our dog speaks in a sort of faux-posh voice, like hyacinth bouquet. She would definitely say 'naice'. She also lisps and pronounces -y at the end of words like 'eh' - so 'mummeh' and 'hungreh' etc. God knows why! She's 12 so the origins of all this are lotht n the mithth of taime, as she'd say ...Blush

Pressed too soon! The cat is a Russian agent Grin

Female labrador has a male Australian accent and swears like a sailor. The male labrador had a high pitched little girls voice.

I would love to know what animals think when we do this

Erm, nothing Confused

My Yorker/Lakeland cross speaks in a Russian accent. She is an impoverished exiled Russian dog princess whose ancestors served at the winter palace of many generations of Tzarinas. She is professionally disappointed to have ended up where she has ended up.

waitforitfdear · 01/07/2017 08:36

What is it with Russia? Grin

My rabbit turns everything into plurals and refers to herself in the third person.

So if someone's eating something she fancies tasting she'll say, "Pop Tarts for bunnies?" or 'Pizzas for bunnies?'

If she's calling DP she'll shout 'daddies?'

Her voice gets higher at the end of a sentence like she'll asking a question.

It's just her way.

My big girl lurcher has a very strong Irish accent and my small lurcher is a bit like Kenneth Williams.
My horse talks like Nessa from Gavin and Stacey.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 01/07/2017 08:43

Both my cats have deep voices and a Brummie accent. One explains things to his brother a lot.

catgirl1976 · 01/07/2017 08:44

DCat speaks like Bevis from Bevis and Butthead

I have no idea why but he does

Mileymoocow · 01/07/2017 08:46

Mine doesn't have the best grammar - think along the lines of 'mines dad', calls the baby the alien and calls me 'help'. He loves his dad and grandad more than life and lies through his teeth - kind of like Jay off the inbetweeners. He's quite high pitched, though he thinks his voice is lovely and has (apparently) had 2 number 1 singles.

We need to get out more.

Outfoxed · 01/07/2017 08:48

I have two cats. One speaks in a very camp American accent and is constantly curious about what's happening so he does a lot of "oh hey! Hey you guys! What ya doing? Hey, that sure looks fun guys!"

And the other speaks in a ridiculous stereotypical French accent and mainly insults us for not stroking him "Excusé moi puny humans but you appear to have two hands and NEITHER of them are stroking meee"

OhDearToby · 01/07/2017 08:49

My big black elderly greyhound has an eeyore type voice. He is the saddest looking dog you've ever seen. I'm pretty sure he's not actually depressed but it's hard to say.

Bunnyfuller · 01/07/2017 08:49

Our pug has a very loud voice, kind of boisterous toddler (which is precisely what he is really). He hasn't learnt swear words because the dc.

The cats blank us unless they want sexy back scrubs or food.

Thank you for this thread, I'm genuinely laughing my head off. My fave is the sweaty Scottish dog, and the Guinea pigs too...

Brilliant!

WhooooAmI24601 · 01/07/2017 08:51

Our dog has a Leicester accent; she's a springer spaniel and shouts "awright duckeee" at postmen before trying to convince them to romance her. When the Ocado man arrives she climbs into his van and shouts "come the fack on, Bridget" in an attempt to escape with him.

The cats all have Russian accents, the she-cats are posh Russian Tsarinas who loudly exclaim they'd prefer zakuski to the terrible Felix and the he-cats are menacing in the middle of the night when they appear next to my face and whisper "comrades, the Revolution has not yet succeeded, you must carry on".

The rabbits are minor aristocracy who've landed on hard times and refuse to acknowledge their new, reduced standing in society. One, the boy, insists he absolutely must have his artisan carrots or he'll simply perish. The she-rabbit has no time for his nonsense.

My male lab is very attractive to other male dogs when out walking, something to do with him being neutered I think. So, over the years my then teenage offspring had him talking in a rather girly voice and talking about his "wilkins" as in " Get off my Wilkins!", "Leave my Wilkins alone!" or if he was relaxed legs akimbo on the sofa " Just look at my Wilkins!"
I have no idea where that word came from and I can assure you that the human males don't use it for themselves!
Having said that Lab is now nearly 13 and doesn't get his wilkins out much these days😀
Over the years, all our menagerie of rabbits, guinea pigs, various small rodents, snakes and now dogs have had voices. The animals only spoke when close family were around so it became out measure of how relaxed we were with visitors.

Whooooo totally nuts and so funny

3 cats

All Winnie the Pooh characters. Kanga, Tigger and Eye Ore. They are more narrated by us in their characters than they actually speak.

snoopypoodle · 01/07/2017 08:58

My cockapoodle is always very excited at the prospect of EVERYTHING and quite hyperactive so she is stuck with squeaky voice and speaks very quickly with no spaces in between her words especially at the beginning of her sentences . i.e. mumumumumcuddlesCuddlesCUDDLES....yasssss

She also says OMG a lot in that weird way but again really quickly "OHMAHGAD look it's other dogs OTHER DOGS AND PEOPLE PEOPLE AND DOGS I CAN SAY HI TO!!! Hihihihihihihihihihi"

She's annoying but funny.

Coloursthatweremyjoy · 01/07/2017 09:01

I can't really describe Dogs voice and I don't really know where it came from, but he has terrible pronunciation saying th as ff and he would say "I is very hungry" in the style of the BFG. Sadly he does swear quite a bit but never in front of the children and he can be very disparaging about bullies at my sons school or my job...

Dog knows his voice and will jump up as if to see what he is saying...he looks quite put out if the rabbit borrows it.

Coloursthatweremyjoy · 01/07/2017 09:03

Oh I forgot...

The cat had Dogs voice before he did (he's no longer with us). He would spend a lot of time talking about his time on maneuvers with the SAS.

OnceMoreIntoTheBleach · 01/07/2017 09:10

DDog is Eastern European. She was a princess where she came from but just normal here. She harps on about it alllllll the time, all the riches she left behind... Hmm

kitnkaboodle · 01/07/2017 09:11

Kingjoffreys - your rabbit is Gollum!

So many White Russian cats ... I'm actually amazed at people's skills of mimicry. How do you even do an Alan Rickman voice? What's the 'trigger phrase"?!

Our cat has an aristocratic title (think Earl of Local Area) and he's incredibly posh. He calls us Mother and Father and the girls "her" or "them" in a disdainful voice (he was here first and has never got over it!)
