I have a cranky old tabby (18 years old) who I think would sound like Selma on “Night Court”, a very dignified and unflappable 12- yr old cat who would sound like James Earl Jones, and a very cute and funny Jack Russell mix who would sound like Jon Stewart.
I have three cats, and they all have distinct “voices” to me. I can tell them apart from their meows, so I would be able to tell them apart if they talked, is my theory.
My oldest (8 years old) is a large long-haired calico, and she would sound like Kathryn Hepburn - mostly I think this because she already shakes her head just like Kate did.
One of the other two would have a voice like Gwyneth Paltrow - low volume sometimes, but still commands attention.
And the other one would have a voice like Jennifer Tilly - loud, really high, and really whiny. (-:
I’d have thought this would be easy to answer, but after thinking long and hard (yes, I have no life), this is the best I can come up with for my furry and feathered friends:
The golden retriever would sound like Ashton Kutcher.
The chow/lab/? mix (who was born and raised in the deep south before coming to live with me) would sound like Delta Burke.
Both of the chickens would sound like Gilbert Gottfried.
Kitties: Tasha (queen kitty) would sound, I think, like Kathleen Turner. Tee (our boy) would sound like Harvey Fierstein. Cara (the stupid kitty) would sound like Melanie Griffith with a bad stutter.
Dog: Gracie (Mastiff) is totally Kirstie Alley.
Rats: Milo and Rodney are pretty interchangeable, looks-wise, but their personalities are very different. Milo would be voiced by Christopher Walken, whereas Rodney has more of a Brad Garrett thing going on.
My “middle child” cat sounds a bit like Edith Bunker. The older one doesn’t say much. She’d have to be one of those non-talker actresses…Mary Pickford, maybe? The kitten squeaks when she talks. I’d go with Melanie Griffith.
My cat would sound remarkable like he does now but able to form words. Of course he would be very loud. If that isn’t the case, I imagine that he would talk like Boris or Natasha (the accent part) from Rocky and Bullwinkle but with the pitch of Rocky.
My male cat would sound like the Brain and my female cat would sound like Pinky from Pinky & the Brain.
or
My male cat would sound like the stereotypical British aristocrat and the female would sound like… Oh, screw it. No matter what the other cat sounds like, she’d still sound like Pinky from Pinky & the Brain. She’s none too smart.
