“Oh haha sorry I was talking to my cat”
I really wonder sometimes if people are actually so bad with using their words or if they just play it up for Internet clicks.
Why not both? Anyway, I know this does happen irl. I was once leaving an office and the lady there had a really cute chihuahua, so I said “Goodbye” and added cheerfully: “Bye bye, sweet creature.” It took me about a minute to realise I didn’t check whether the lady saw I was talking to the dog. Hopefully she’s used to her dog getting lots of attention - that’s what I tell myself now to cope.
I did this recently when I walked past someone’s garden and their pet sheep came over to see me. I was happily chatting away to the sheep about how much it had been munching away and how hot it must be with all that wool when a very confused postman I had not noticed responded
Also, here is said sheep
