I talk to my cats and they talk back, somehow we manage to understand eachother perfectly. they train me as much as I train them.
Yes but you don’t have any pretexts of them having a language that can be “translated”
I swear this is real. Former work associate, who is chronically on TikTok, genuinely thought that cats had a language and people/ai are working on translating it. He, and I fucking kid you not, tried a series of meows and hisses trying to communicate with my cats.
I talk with my pets but I have no delusions of them understanding me beyond the non verbal communication and understanding that years of living together will give you.
