Perhaps a better way to demonstrate the silliness of using this line of argument to advance a few-ET's argument is the following analogy: would you fly overseas, just to talk to a cat?
Actually I was more leaning towards the relative gulf in intelegence between 'us and them'.
If the aliens are so hellbent on talking to people, they probably acquired some DNA samples millenia ago and have been raising pet humans to be their inferior-intelligence sidekicks/companions.
Sounds like someone has been reading Ian Banks...

but the cat while it doens't know what I'm saying, does know it is being talked to and knows inflection, or emotions; it more or less knows what I'm saying.
Have you tried talking to an amoebe lately?

just like I and many other animal lovers talk to their pets.
I think one point that you may be missing is, that while you may talk a lot to your cat is does not necessarily follow that your cat understands what you are saying...
