    Oh no. I do it all the time. Actually though, the cat meows at me when I sneeze, so I call it an even trade.

    That's hilarious!! My dog sometimes "pets" me when I pet her...so I guess they all like that "even trade" sort of thing!

    :smile: My folks are card-carrying atheists, but because of this, I have always enjoyed learning about the different faiths and philosophies out there.

    One of my more memorable visits to a church was on the Feast of St. Francis! There was an animal procession including a chimp, a baby elephant and a tortoise (the latter was carried on a pillow). They were all blessed, along w/ all the pets that the parishioners brought for the occasion. It was a nice way to be reminded that we all live here together - so no, I don't think that's weird at all! :laugh:

    I say it to my pup. She sometimes gives kisses to me after I sneeze. Or she lifts her head to make sure I'm okay.

    I say it all the time to my two cats. I talk to them like they are my kids and can understand me. Secretly, I think they DO understand me but choose not to listen.

    If somehow "OH GROSS EWWW" translates into "bless you!" then yes, I do.

    Mostly the cat/dog will sneeze and I will be covered in nastiness. First reaction is to nastiness, second reaction is to animal!

    Given the history as to why people say bless you, saying it to your pet is LMAO.gif

    :laugh: That's so funny. When my son says a prayer for our meal and his cat is meowing, he'll tell her in a parental voice, "Judy, the grownups are praying". As if she understands or even cares. :laugh:

    I say it to the critters, made even sillier because I'm an atheist! :laugh:

    I don't say it as much to the dog, because he sneezes allll the time. He's a Pekingese, so he's a Buddhist. I don't think he minds.

    Any time anyone sneezes I immediately say bless you. People in the stores look at me weird but what's wrong with a little courtesy even if you don't know the person?

    I also say hello to my kitty when she walks into the room and goodnight before we go to bed. She's just a little person with fur and fangs :smile:
