When a cat meows at me I meow back.

Did you know that cats only mew to humans and other animals, never to other cats?

This is not true

Is so.

Incorrect. "In nature, the meow is a sound used by a cat to signal a request to its mother." Via Wikipedia.

I read so on memebase, so it must be true.

My cat doesn't even listen to me anymore, so I just sort of pick him up and scream in his face when I want him to stop scratching something.

He listens to that.

I pick lola up and place her on her scratching post. it's mostly effective...

It depends entirely on the cat.

If it's just a domestic cat then sure... I'll meow back. If it's like a lion or something then I'm more likely to crap myself and run away.

If the cat is in the same room as me, or within 20 feet outdoors, I will meow back without thinking, and try as hard as I can to exactly match the meow they do, in pitch, length, volume, everything. It's completely involuntary. Which is one of the only reasons why I'm glad my old cat that used to meow back at me EVERY TIME is gone. I've had meow contests with her that lasted anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours before, until either she left the room, or I threw her out.

Same.

I think I have a problem.

I pretty much talk to cats in a language that consists of meowing and make squeaking and kissing noises.

And occassionally "hello pudding chops"

Yeah, I'm not weird at all!
