Hey There Pussy Cat!

Do we talk to our animals more than we talk to the people around us?  What is the craze with baby talking to house pets and dressing them in high fashion?  Do you have a cat?  Do you have a dog?  Are you looking for love and have found it in a pet?  Why do you suppose we took a perfectly good animal and made it live under house rules (house arrest)? Why did we bring animals inside?  What would happen to your pet if you could no longer feed yourself?  Hey there Cat, humans have a brain that is larger than the other animals, but, did we really need to bring animals into our houses?
