Sounds really silly, but on those occasions when I am traveling on business (or even on a quilters' retreat away from home) when I call hubby and son to say I miss them, I also request to talk to the cat! She purrs at me and hubby holds the phone near her.
Who else admits to talking to their pets on the telephone?

Any funny stories?

Not unless my little Poodle learns to answer the phone too.

When we babysit our little grand-dog....I always hold the phone up to her ear when DD calls.... and she tilts her little "pug" head this way & that when DD talks.... can't imagine anything cuter!

I must admit that I do also. We have a small daschund/chiuahua ... she loves it when I talk to her over the phone... she will talk back ... she barks ... She is just like another part of the family. :-)

I used to have a couple of cats that used to answer the wall phone all the time... it was so frustrating when they would not hang it back up... u could hear them meowing into the phone...LOL..

currently , no.. I do not speak to my cats on the phone... thankfully these guys have not learned to answer it..

I imagine many people do this and just don't admit it (laughter). Thanks for being so wonderfully honest!!
