    I have no idea why one of my cat did this. She isn’t chatty, but when i’m on the phone she decided to be super chatty and meow all the time. I can’t fake a call as well, she will know.

      We’ve three cats. I can’t really ever remember hearing two of them talk. The third one does, but only rarely.

      Two of them are pretty senior and may have been having trouble eating kibble, causing them to lose an alarming amount of weight. My wife took pity and started putting out wet food every morning. Suddenly, the older two are very talkative every time they see a human come out from behind a closed door.

    One time, I was on a discord call with a bunch of friends, and one friend took their headset off to get something from the other room. Usually the noise cancellation means that their cat’s meows were rarely audible, but this time, we could hear her quite clearly — it seems she had decided to investigate the headset. When we realised this, we called out her name, which caused her to become even more vocal, and for us to have a full on conversation with this cute kitty.

    My friend could hear the meows from the other room and was curious as to why her cat was so vocal. They found it hilarious when they came back and realised what had happened. It’s not too surprising really — sometimes when my friend was cuddling their cat with their headset on, we would call out the cat’s name to see if this would induce “helicopter ears”

    Our cat gets very excited when she hears my voice on the speaker phone. She doesn’t respond to anyone else like that. Makes me feel good that she truly loves me.
