Example, I’ll quote old memes but replace a word with my dog’s name or otherwise make it about them.
How is pupper formed? How doggo get pragnant?
IMMA FIRIN MAH KITTEH!
MAH BOI! This woofer is what all true hoomans strive for!
I sing My Little Buttercup to my cat. Lol

I hold conversations with my pets all the time. And sometimes I sing to them while sometimes I sing with them. Doing harmony with my husky is tricky, but fun.
I sing Pizza Mozzarella to my husky Bella except I say “Iiit’sa Little Bella.”
Why have pets if you can’t be silly with them? I have full conversations with them (my kittens are vocal so I don’t have to pretend as hard)
My Yorkie really likes “krusty kraaaaaab, pizza, is the pizza for you and meeeee.”
I have a bunny named Felix. He likes to lick things, so I called him “Licky Bun” for a bit, that turned in to “Felicky”, which turned into “Licky” and finally “Licker”.
When I come downstairs to work in the mornings, I when I walk by his enclosure and whisper “lickerrrrrr”. The other day my partner told me they hear this every morning, and it’s like an alarm lock.
Yes, of course. And I am deeply suspicious of anyone who doesn’t sing silly little songs to their pets.
I’ve been talking to my cats in Japanese as practice a lot of the times, although I’m very much a beginner so it’s pretty basic. I think they don’t understand me, but they also might just be refusing to understand “wait 15 minutes” before they can eat lol
It’s so funny. I don’t think I’ve ever taught a dog our rituals. They always taught me. The most endearing one, I think, was my soul dog who passed in '21. When I came home she’d bring me her Kong with a wildly wagging tail. I’d hold out my hand and she’d drop it there, but she fully expected me to give it back. Once done, the greeting was complete, and she’d lay at my feet.
God I miss that dog.
“Stupid cats need the most attention.”
I saw some article years ago that found dogs cant, or at least have a hard time differentiating between consonant sounds in words; for example the word ‘outside’ might sound the same as ‘grout-side’ or ‘shout-wide’, just because they rhyme.
After some fun experiments, I found that to be true with my dogs, and my vocabulary with them has devolved into some really silly shit that makes me cackle, but would probably make others question my sanity a little…
+ bonus points for the silly voices
TIL dogs speak rhyming slang
My experience is quite different. I have 4 puppos and we have practiced “lining up” with each in their place as they wait for their meals. I release them with a simple “Okay” and they know the difference between that and “Ohhhhhhtay” and “Ohio” or “Oahu.”
These examples differ a bit from what you said but I think dogs can differentiate better than we give them credit for sometimes.
I absolutely sing to my deaf cat.
Every morning my spunkier cat greets me in the bathroom and we quack at each other until one of us gets tired of it.

Oh dear. oO
I got my cat during the covid lockdown, around the same time I decided to refresh my French with the downtime. Now I have a french cat.
How do you say “Pspspspss” in French?
“Viens ici!” or “Viens ici, s’il te plaît!” if you’re being proper.
“Minouminouminou!” if you’re being Cajun, where a cat is a minou and “Meow” is also minou.
