As a regular thing?
When i leave i'd say i say bye 95% of the time-if ive realized im late and I'm in a hurry I might not. I give her a scritch behind the ears and say "ok i'll be back, be a good kitty", sometimes i'll say "don't take any wooden cat treats".
But i always say hi to her when i come back, becauae usually i get some kind of meow greeting, and the longer I'm gone the louder the meow, and i honestly feel like a jerk if she walks up to me or sits up on the couch and meows hello and i just walk by. Like... how rude? I always say "hey Honeybunny, hows my kitty".
And if i step on her tail or bump into her or whatever, i always reach down and pet her and say "im sorry booboo, mommy didnt mean it. I actually read an article a while ago written by a cat researcher/scientist, ect, who said cats understand when ypu do that. They obvioysly dont understand like we do, but if you step on your cats tail and they squeal and you bend down and say "im sorry kitty it was an accident" and pet them, they get that you meant them no harm. Is it true? Who knows, but i operate as if it is.
Do you communicate with your kitty?
