Having a black cat means sometimes I talk to a sweater on my bed.
OMG..this made me laugh!
i have spoken to a kitchen roll and a cardboard box recently (b&w who's almost all white from the front, lynx-point siamese who can look cardboard-coloured in very low light / when i'm exhausted) 
why whatever do you mean?

Yup!
And sometimes I had to stop in the hall in the middle of the night and look again, because I thought that shadow just moved and... yeah, it's the cat and he's about to attack my ankle. No, wait, maybe that's just a shadow... no... dammit, where's the light switch?
