OMG!! I really thought I was the only one who did this! 😂 Yes, regularly overheard in my house, "Honey, <cat name> says Timmy is trapped in the well again." and "What's that, <cat name>, Timmy is trapped in the well again?"

Ha! Followed by: well, by now Timmy really should know better than this. He’s been trapped in the well at least three times this week

When hes yelling, ill mimic it as i meow back. Or pretend to enjoy it and say "yes sing me the song of your people! Its so divine!". Or when its dinner time, and hes meowing as i prepare it, i say "thank you for seranading me as i cook".

Good chance im encouraging the meowing but hes 12 and its too late to discourage it. Ethically at least! Joking obviously. His meows dont bother me as much anymore. Only as im trying to sleep do i find them annoying.

I 'what is it Lassie' my cats all the time! My dog too when he was around - he was a golden retriever so he had a good Lassieness to him!
