Imagine relaxing at home, your cat curled up nearby, and you find yourself speaking to them in a sing-song, babyish voice. “Who’s a good kitty? Did you have a nice nap?” It’s something almost every pet owner does. But if your cat could speak, what would it say back?
This playful question is hilariously answered in a video by Andrew Grantham, the hit creator behind the YouTube channel “Talking Animals.” Known for turning everyday pet footage into comedic gold, Grantham adds human voices to animals, adding a fresh and funny twist on what our pets might really be thinking.
In one of Grantham’s most beloved clips titled “What Cats Are Really Thinking,” a sleepy white cat becomes the star of an uproarious dialogue when his owner begins showering him with affection—using the classic high-pitched baby talk all pet parents are guilty of. The twist? The cat talks back.
As the fluffy feline rests on a kitchen chair, the owner greets him enthusiastically: “Hi Kitty!” Instead of ignoring the human, as cats often do, this kitty nonchalantly replies, “Hey, what’s up. What’s going on?”
The owner continues with more overly affectionate questions: “Were you having a nap? And what did my kitty do today?” The cat, clearly unimpressed, responds in his casual tone, “Nothing much.” Each subsequent question is met with the same chill attitude that cat lovers immediately recognize.
This humorous contrast between expressive human tones and feline indifference perfectly captures the unique relationship between people and their cats. Cats are notorious for being independent and, at times, emotionally reserved. They might show affection on their terms, but they’re also experts at acting as if nothing—and no one—can faze them.
The funniest part of the video comes when the owner asks, “Who’s my kitty?” prompting the feline to reluctantly mutter, “I am…” As the baby talk intensifies, the owner coos, “Who’s my sweet little white fluffy little ball?” That’s when the cat finally breaks character and fires back with the epic line: “You better not put this on YouTube…”
With over 13 million views, it’s clear the video strikes a chord with pet lovers everywhere. Viewers are entertained not just by the cat’s deadpan responses, but by how relatable the whole scenario feels. It taps into the universal experience of doting on our pets—even when they can’t (or won’t) respond.
What makes this video stand out is Andrew Grantham’s masterful voice-over work and flawless comedic timing, giving animals incredibly human personalities while still capturing their quirks. Cats in particular are ripe for this kind of humor, and Grantham takes full advantage of their aloof reputations.
Some highlights from the video include:
- The casual tone of the cat’s replies, which feel more like a teenager brushing off a parent than a pet talking to its owner.
- Perfect pacing—each question is followed by just enough pause for comedic tension before the cat delivers another dry line.
- A relatable owner moment—because who hasn’t spoken in a silly voice to their pet, only to be met with a blank stare?

Grantham proves that sometimes the funniest interpretations of animal behavior are those we imagine ourselves. And in this case, the world got a perfectly voiced grumpy cat who just wants to nap in peace—not be treated like a baby. The result? A viral sensation that continues to leave viewers laughing.
