My husband and both gave the obvious and identical answer. I’m really curious to see what Lemmy comes up with.
WHO’S A GOOD BOY!?
I’ve always wanted to know what my cats call me in their heads. Like, is it a sound or a series of meows?
Do you want to be here, or do you feel trapped?
Edit: I feel like most dogs who are treated well would want to be with their humans, though some would want more freedom from time to time.
Most cats, on the other hand, would launch into a long monologue about ruling the world, killing all birds and rodents, and roaming miles a day to survey their kingdom.
That’s a good one! Cats would certainly have much to say here.
I’d like to think my dog would issue an enthusiastic “I love it here!” but would probably ask for longer walks.
“What are your communication cues so I don’t have to ask more than one question?”
That’s a good one! We both went to “how can I make your life better?” But yours would ensure long-term understanding.
One last chance to decide - do you want to be inside or outside?
Now your cat is going to explain quantum tunnelling in the answer.
“Yes.”
This one made my husband laugh a very heartily laugh. One of our dogs is “can’t decide” type and the other is “I really love outside, but I will follow dog #1 no matter what,” which results in this weird game of “WTF DO YOU WANT?” with both of them daily.
Can you please stop peeing everywhere?
“No.”
I’d like to believe that my dog would say yes, but you are probably right.
What can i do to encourage you pee and poop in one of the 5 boxes?!
Do you trim their claws? My girl cat we don’t. She’s too difficult. Boy cat we do. He’s bigger and can dominate her. She stresses. Pees. Trim boys claws, playing field evened. No pee. Are least this is the working theory. As the boxes are kept pretty clean.
Have you seen spirits here?
The greebles! Well, if you have cats. My dogs just fight each other, they are each other’s demons.
I no longer have my two boys around. Though if I could I’d have told them I loved them and asked if they understood. Having lost so much these past couple years love and hope is something I am hanging onto for dear life.
I have a feeling your two boys knew they were loved very much. Keep hanging in there, whatever it takes!
I have three gerbils.
I’d probably ask if there’s anything I could do to make their terrarium nicer place to live
What can I do you make you happy?
My thoughts exactly, but then… with my dogs the answer would be “walks and treats all the time forever,” and then I’d have to explain to them how that’s not realistic.
Why do you keep eating cat poo? It’s full of toxoplasmosis. It’s going to kill you. Why? WHY?
Oh sorry, that’s 3 questions.
I appreciate the sheer emotion in your questions. I can tell you’ve been through this a lot.
Whatcha doing?
Will you please stop barking at EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME INCLUDING YOUR OWN IMAGINARY WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT IT IS THAT YOU THINK YOU NEED TO BARK YOUR HEAD OFF AT please?
And the answer is no. You’ve used up your question.
What is your name?
“Bark Obama”
It would be interesting if they had a name other than what we call them, but it’s plausible.
Something along the lines of “how are you known” or “how are you called” perhaps?
What is the most important thing you want me to know?
Honestly, I think this one wins, maybe tied with the “what are your communication cues.” Let them decide what’s important, even if it’s trivial for us.
