When I adopted her I was learning German, so I got used to speak in the language with her; first to train myself*, then for convenience (I can talk with her and my other cat Kika separately). But then, like: I go to garden, Frieda follows me, when I'm going back I tell her "geh nach Hause" (go back home), neighbour sees and finds it funny, now she's the little German.

And then there's the front neighbour; if I'm gardening and he opens his gate, his two dogs run towards me with the biggest "I want belly rubs!" face.

*pets are great for language learning - sure, they might not answer you, but they don't judge your pronunciation and they still pay attention to what you say.
