me when i see a cat: CAT! cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
Fun fact: when I see cute animals, I forget English and automatically revert to my native Hungarian. I don’t know what bystanders make of me, reciting guttural gibberish to rabbits.
But the real question is, what are you SAYING to the rabbits? Is it ‘RABBIT! rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit bunny bunny bunny awww cute bunnyyyyy’?
Well, I usually say the Hungarian equivalent of ‘bun bun bun lil bun look at your tiny spoon-shaped ears awww bun brave little lawnmower bun’, but sometimes I say ‘hey rabbits, my sister’s gonna go to med school’ because I think everyone should know.
I live in Japan, and I always revert to English to talk to small animals, and I was cooing at this tiny little fluff machine of a puppy in baby english like “hello you’re so cute such a cute hello hello yess you’re good” and the 70 year old Japanese lady that was walking him started to *translate the baby talk english into Japanese* for her pup. She wanted to be sure he understood it too.
Not only do I tend to revert to Finnish when talking to cats, my brain has also, due to some peculiar circumstances (mostly related to the fact that I live with a sm0l fuzzy cat and call J a cat too), been conditioned to consider anything sufficiently cute a “cat”. Dog? Nope, my brain outputs “cat” before I realize what I’m doing. Person? Yeah, my brain is going to call any sufficiently pretty person a “cat” too unless I pay conscious attention to this.
So basically if you observe me making inexplicable gibberish noises at something, it means I like whatever I’m making those noises at and find it cute.
