What is a command you accidentally taught your pet? (lemmy.world)

My goldendoodle puppy doesn't ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle "go get your sister" as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say "go get your sister" the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.

My cat blesses people when they sneeze

I think we're going to need a bit of an explanation here

Cat's the new pope; haven't you been watching the news?

Anytime someone sneezes, he runs into the room, makes eye contact, and meows kinda loud once. If you don't acknowledge him, he may continue 'murr'-ing if he likes you, until you do say thank you or pet him. It's really fricken cute. I think it's because my wife sneezes a lot and we're very consistent with 'bless you' and 'thank you's ourselves. Neither of us are religious or superstitious, so it's kinda silly, but it seems polite

Maybe a sympathetic "mrow?"

I think it might be mirroring 🐱
