I bet people have the same reaction.

When I meow at them? Or just in general.

If it's the latter: You c*nt!

There's nothing more heartbreaking than trying to be nice to a random cat and they shun you.

I can't understand why, if a (slightly) grown man meowed at you in the street, you wouldn't shun them.. would you?

if i meow in my apartment, my cat, no matter where he is or what he's doing, will come running. well it's more of a jolly trot really, than an all-out sprint. he often responds with a mix between a purr and a happy meow when he reaches me - bbrrrmbrrow!

when my wife meows, though, the cat totally ignores her. it makes her sad

I feel for your missus, I feel so rejected when random cats shun my meowing, if it was my own pet... God, heartbreaking.

terrapins are the best pets, fo sho. this isn't really an unpopular opinion.. well i'd hope not anyway. i just thought i'd say it here as there was a semi-related conversation going on.

Ahaha I love that comparison... though I daresay he would be a rabbit given the chance

I'm definitely a cat-person and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has meowing conversations with their cat. My problem with dogs is that they mostly seem to be one-sided whereas cats have a large range of personalities and idiosyncrasies. You get grumpy cats, happy cats, lazy cats that don't move a muscle, hyper cats that tear up and down the hallway, cats that hate being picked up and patted too much, cats that jump up onto your lap to be mollycoddled as soon as you sit down, cats that sleep in boxes, overly domesticated cats that only sleep on beds/couches, hunter cats that would rather be outside every night, cats that hide what they kill, cats that proudly drag their prey onto your front step and leave it there for everyone to see, cats that wait patiently for you to feed them, cats that jump up onto the kitchen bench when you turn away (and look guilty as hell when you turn back towards them), cats that are fussy eaters, cats that eat moths, cats that are too nice to scratch you despite you royally pissing them off, cats that swipe at you as soon as you ruffle their fur even slightly... cats are awesome.
