hahahahaha. I'm not crazy :p I do it out of boredom and to break the silence, mainly. Though sometimes the sheep baa back at me. Mostly they stay silent and stare at me like I'm crazy. (I call them socially awkward :p) The cats talk to me. Like today I had a conversation with Tom Cat.

me: "Are you going to help me feed the sheep again today?"
him: meow
me: "Are you sure? There's fresh snow outside."
him: meow
me: "Okay, but don't blame me when your feet freeze."
him: meow
he then followed me outside and meowed at me
me: "I told you there was snow out here, but you didn't listen to me!"
him: silence.

This is him

That's pretty much how my conversations with my critters go.

ahahaha okay thats much better . Does your cat have a tail? Your sheep are socially awkward, and my rabbit is anti social.

Lol, yeah he does, he's just laying on it. We do have one cat without a tail. We don't know how she lost it. But her name is Momma Kitty #2 (Momma Kitty #1 is her sister). But I just call her Momma. She loves baby kitties, even if they aren't hers. But she's spayed now, so no more kittens of her own!

I have a rabbit, but he's just kind of here. He doesn't do much. My mom did open the door to his cage so right now he's hopping around the house, and our two indoor cats are having fun with him. They are out of barn cat stock, both lived their first couple of weeks outside before we brought them in and bottle fed them. The older one was found abandoned/stuck in between plastic barrels, according to my neighbor he had been hearing the mews of kitten for a couple days but couldn't find her. But I found her, brought her home, and we started to bottle feed her. The second one I stole out of a litter :hide because she looked almost exactly like the kitten we had in 2011 but lost to FIP :( But I'm sooo glad I have her. I taught her how to sit, she comes when she's called and she makes my dog (my shadow) jealous lol. But anyway, back to my point, lol--they're out of barn cat stock (our barn cats are known to kill wild rabbits and squirrels in addition to mice and shrews) so they're 'trying' to hunt him, but because they weren't taught to hunt by their moms, they're really just playing with him, batting at his ears and jumping on his back and biting the top of his head :p and he just sits there. Sometimes he will chase after them and the cats are almost in shock so they chase after him. But when my dog starts to play with the bunny, he runs to the cats for protection! :gig pshhhh like they're gonna protect him lol. Once the dog comes, it's all cats for themselves lol

When I was socializing my goats when I first got them I would talk to them, read to them, play the guitar near them, sing along to the radio to them :rolleyes: I'm glad it worked otherwise I would have felt a little strange.. I still talk to them all the time. They also get goodnight kisses :)
