I couldn't even bark at them I was laughing so hard. I love the AI voice commanding owners to bark at their dogs.

My cat was only used to my speaking voice. So I tried different whistling sounds. Gets her attention every time. Then I tried making popping sounds with just my lips. She stared at me like WTF?

But the sound that really got to her was humming. Stared at me looking surprised, like, "How could that human make a sound without moving her lips?" Or, "Is that some weird kind of purring?"
