Welcome to Pet Talk cutie_chica, we all love our cats as much as you love yours, so please don't think you are weird.
Miss Bo knows quite a few words! Whenever I say "Nippers!" she comes running because she knows it's kitty treat time. She responds to "No"'; her name plus nicknames; "come here" especially when it means a lap or a cushy spot on the recliner; "do you want to play?" usually initiates a spell of rolling over onto her back and swatting at anything that comes near; "pretty baby" spoken several times usually causes her to lay down and pose as if we were taking pictures (this probably relates back to her days as a show cat).
If we are talking in very loud voices as if we are having an argument, she will go and hide underneath the couch. And Bo really reads our faces, she can tell our moods and I honestly believe she can read lips!
