Does it sound like your cat says any words when they meow??

What lovely stories! I have read that cats have developed verbal sounds as a result of being companion animals (i.e. they don't use these noises with each other or when not domesticated.) So it would seem logical that they would "imitate" human sounds.

I have also heard that, and I think my two are the same. When I talk to Bassett I always say "Baby Bassett" or something like that, in a high pitched voice, and she always respond with a high sounding "Meow-meow!" When they get fishies in the morning, I make them say "Please!" and they respond with "Meeeew!"

I also talk back to them in their words, so maybe it's all a plot to turn me to their ways :) ;)

Just like Yumyum, my cat Sam has asked to go out first thing in the morning after she has eaten her breakfast. My kids and I on different occasions have opened the front door for her when she asks to go ME-OUT! She asks us nicely so we always get the door for her so she can sit on the front porch and enjoy the fresh air. Of couse some days she just turns right around and comes back in if the weather isn't to her liking!:)

When my kitty licks his chops when he is done eating, he can say my name "laura" clear as a bell. He usually does it everytime he gets done eating.

How things,can change,in a Few Years,as JJJ3,has been,on the ardio,and still,as sevral Pet talkers,can testify,MMMMEEEEEOOOOWS ,For his Treats!But BJ,is gone,and that is sad.But,I am typing this,at home,with some of My Found Cats,around,Thanks to My Friends,on this wonderful Site,Pet Talk.

Briggs and my husband, Kyle have a two-way conversation at bedtime almost every night. Briggs starts it off, telling him goodnight (I guess), then Kyle will make cat noises, Briggs will respond and so it goes on and on til Briggs has said all she had to say and she quits. She always is the one to initiate the session and the one to say she's had enough. Kyle can try to engage her in conversation but unless she's in the mood...:rolleyes: Well, we ALL know that the cats run the household and we are just there for chores. :)

And I get,into some chats,with the Found Cats,as well,and Meeeow,to them,all the time!

Weezie says "NOOOOOO!" Her cry is long meow. I'm a bad meowie, too! I'll tease her and go, "Weezie, are you pretty?" because she'll always answer, "Noooooo!"

When Eepie was a baby, she'd go "Eep. Eep." That's how she got her name. We were calling her Angel but when she'd meow I'd say, "Well, you're a little eepie, aren't you?" and so 'Eepie' stuck. Now that she's older, her meow is still very shrill but does actually sound like 'meow' now.

Grey Girl is a diluted tortie. She's got orange 'eyeshadow' around her large round eyes and it makes her look a bit confused, like she's not sure exactly where she's at, so I suppose it's just right she says, "Map? Map?" everytime she opens her mouth.

Sweet Pea says "YUM", and Chip coos like a pigeon, and goes "WOW"! Both are part Siamese, and quite the vocal pair.:D

Sassafras Root used to say "Mir" -- Russian for Peace.

Cassy and Livvy are more traditional Meowers.
