Greeting ...

What have you trained your pet to do?


My cat, Hemingway knows how to greet and murmurs a soft and subtle greeting every time I walk in and out of a room he is lying in. I assume because I always greet him, say hello by his name when I come and go and he picked it up.


It is the sweetest sound, a very soft one syllable greeting and he does it to visitors as well.


He has also learnt what kiss is. And either rubs his head against my lips when I say kiss or bends his head down for a kiss.


I am not sure if this is acquired behaviour or some sort of conditioning, but he has been living with me for 8 years nearly and definitely has picked up some of my traits.


What does your pet do?
