"Oh haha sorry I was talking to my cat"

I really wonder sometimes if people are actually so bad with using their words or if they just play it up for Internet clicks.

he probably did say that after. but the story is still funny so I'm glad that person shared it.

i got a kick out of it.

Why not both? Anyway, I know this does happen irl. I was once leaving an office and the lady there had a really cute chihuahua, so I said "Goodbye" and added cheerfully: "Bye bye, sweet creature." It took me about a minute to realise I didn't check whether the lady saw I was talking to the dog. Hopefully she's used to her dog getting lots of attention - that's what I tell myself now to cope.

Even saying that doesnt take away their embarrassment
