LOL yeah!
They say you should greet your spouse the same way you greet your pets, but it's kind of awkward to convert it to a human interaction. Back when I lived with my parents and my birds were in an open space rather than a closed off room, I would walk in the door and yell (in a pet-talking baby voice, but people other than me might say I sound like a maniac) CHICKEEENNNNSSS, run down the stairs, and jump out from behind a wall so they'd see me and get crazy excited and riled up, and then smush my nose into their faces and they'd give kisses. Likewise, I don't know how willing I would be to get scooped up and given a face smear and belly rubs, but either way neither of us are getting the kind of greetings we give our pets.
I started transferring some of how I act with the cats to my boyfriend. Like when I walk out of my office, I'll say "hi kitten" (to Kismet), "hi cat" (to Mo), and "hi hooman" (to the boyfriend), haha.
