Honestly, this is wholesome. It’s good to vent especially when you just want to get stuff off your chest instead of bottling it all in. I’m glad your cat is able to be there for you.
Ugh, really. I’m talking to my cat like she’s some kind of life coach half the time. Like, I’ll be sitting there stressing about something and suddenly I’m having this deep, existential convo with Fluffy while she just stares at me with her “who, me?” face. It’s pretty pathetic when you think about it. But hey, at least no one can judge me… unless my kid walks in on me mid-soliloquy. That always ends badly.
Still, sometimes those talks help more than I’d admit. Even if she just blinks at me, there’s something cathartic about getting all that crap off your chest. And let’s be real, cats are way better listeners than most humans anyway. They never interrupt or try to one-up you with their own problems.
So yeah, pretend conversations with my cat? Really a thing. And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way… even if the only response is a hairball on my rug.
I honestly dont think this is dumb at all. I have full on conversations with my friend’s dogs. The only time to worry is if she starts to answer back lol.
This makes me happy and I’m happy for you. Animals might not respond back but they are excellent companions probably better than most humans at listening. Glad you have your cat in this world.
Honestly, sometimes I feel like my mutt understands me better than some humans do… But hey, at least with a cat you know they’re not just humoring you, she’s got those big green eyes that say “yeah, whatever.”
I do it too. I ask him questions and he responds with “mrrr” or “hrrr” while purring. It does make me feel better. Every time I finish a sentence, he replies and its so adorable.

Does she at least meow back? Is she a good kitty?

I do this with my dog, she looks at me with judgment and then looks away like she’s pretending she doesn’t know me lol

I meet a lot of cats through my job. I always tell them not to worry, I’m just delivering the local mewspaper. MEWSPAPER! Because they are cats!
They expect it now.
