Do your cats know any words?

Lex comes running whenever I say "crunchies" or "crunchy treats". I think it's mostly tone though... because he rolls over when I tell him to as well, but generally only if something crunchy is involved.

If I stand in front of him and talk to him, Mik will talk back for a bit.

I think the only word Baylee knows well is "bye bye"... when I say that she sits up and starts to look around, worried.

Other than that, I think Baylee and Max know their names but ignore me.

Rosie and Sophie both know the word "Dinner", and Rosie runs to me whenever i shout " Rosie!, do you want some sweeties?! " which are her treats, but Sophie isn't interested in them.

Rosies pleased about that!!

My previous cat used to know "mouse". This meant there was a bug/spider around and she had to kill it.

She also knew her name and "salmons" meant treats and she would come running.

Yasmine know "treats"..."phone cord"...."no" & when i'm sitting down she sits below me and stares, so i say "come on" and she jumps up and lays down in my lap.

Meishka knows 'come' and "NO" and she actually tells me NO right back just like a 2 year old. She knows 'treat' too.


Yasmine, I love your kitty. Looks a little like my Meish.

mouse, outside, and leash

thankya very much...

Reilly knows the words "you're a good boy", he looks up at me and blinks at me and gives me kitty kisses. He knows the word "ball" and he'll go and find it, and "baby" and he runs to me. I think it's cute...his daddy thinks I'm turning him into too much of a sucky baby.

Well, they all know their names. Also, they know 'hungry' if I ask, are you hungry?, they all run to the closet where the food is kept because they know I'll feed them after I ask that.

If I sing the words...

"Wet Food"

Dexter & Sadie would wake up from a coma & come running.

she knows:

'hairball medicine',
'treat',
'turkey',
'eat',
'are you ready to go night-night',
'is you hungry'
'lets go'
'can i have a kiss'

Kitter's knows: "water", "let's go ni-night", "come", "baby" (which is her stuffed animals), of course her name, "daddy", "no", "stop", & "lay down". I can't think of anything else she knows..... That's about it!

Mine demonstrates knowlesge of select words (Her name and the name my mom calls her, food, mommy, mouse, play, outside, leash, "where is your mouse ?" - she looks for it when I say this (Just like her cousin, a chocolate lab, vet - even when I spell it out V-E-T, others...) both English and French I might add but I strongly suspect she knows many more and is not letting on, Lest her mommy know what she is hearing in converations!!

Probably. After all, she is Siamese.

Charlotte knows and seems to understand several words;
No
Come
Play
Toy
Ready?
Go upstairs
Go ahead (that means it's safe to jump or proceed)
Get it or Get Her (get toy or get Izzie during play)
Ham (as in lunch meat)

Izzie understands;
No
Come
Get it or Get Her
Charlotte (she looks around when I call for charlotte)

My cats know "are you hungry?".

Mine know their names and "Hey *name*, lookit here!" I have a certain way of saying their names so that they turn and look at me. Buffy is just Buffeeeee and Willow is simply "Willow," but I'm not sure how but I make each syllable stand out (odd, since I tend to mumble and slur words when talking to humans, lol)

And both know "Lookit this" or "Lookee here" means I've got something interesting to show them, and they'll at least turn and look at me. If it's food, Willow will slowly come (slowly, since she'll be spooking at everything she passes along the way) and Buffy might come, but if she sees Willow coming, she WILL come. Greedy little bossy girl, lol

They all know "treats", "snackies", "supper time", their names and nicknames.

Chester and Piper know "ball"; Piper knows "shower" (she likes to follow us into the bathroom when we shower!); Chester knows "is it pouch time?" (he LOVES the food that comes in pouches ~ I've been feeding them that kind of food for a few months now, but he still gets excited over it! )
