The DU Lounge

Our senior cat is now 18 years old. She makes the rules in the house and sometimes without warning those rules change.


When I met her when she was only 8 years old, I talked her in a normal tone and she would growl at me. By the way, I'm a pet step-parent to her.


I started baby talking to her some years ago and she responds positively and is more agreeable. Some phrases are:


"Who's a cutesy-girl?"
"Who's a pretty girl?"
"Hi Honeypies!"
"Good girl."
"Such a happy, confident kitty."
"Do you wants pets at the food dish?"

Moppit only allows petting at the food dish and only at the food dish. If she's had enough, she will snip at the hand without taking the actual bite.
