I know there are folks out there right this minute, who are afraid to tell
people about this... be laughed at.
My girls really do understand language, each is a bit more gifted in this than
the others.
Our youngest Oreo... seems to be very talented in this.
I have also had 2 cats (one still living) that tried to "talk".
The past one said "going" whenever we put her in her cage... to travel or go to the vet.
And Sheba learned to mimic my son, when he called me...MA?
It wasn't until he was taking the bus to school, (5th grade) he'd come charging in calling MA? Well, that is when Sheba started to do this.
When I am not around, she goes up to my hubby and says MA? And he answers, Ma's at work, or buying FOOD, and she accepts this and goes back to her life. She never makes that sound otherwise.
And Oreo always says uooooo uoooooo when she wants out. (most of the time the cat door is used but when not available ) I can't spell this sound...
very well.
I've told Oreo to go over to that big rock (without gesturing) and she does!!!
right away... she did it again this summer.. so we could take a pic!
All of our kitties know basic words... IN, OUT, UP , DOWN, NO, Be Nice,
No Nails, Tuna, Food, Mommy Fix It, Brushey Brush and READY (for toy games) (we call Oreo's whipped cream= Chooka and she comes when we use that word). Sheba always sleeps with me for at least a while on the BIG BED...and I can say that and she will start up the stairs, before me. And don't dare say Shrimpeys.... that is a big buzz word here, in idle conversation. We spell it out, or call it you know what etc.
She will start up and we have to give it then.
Any other stories... I betcha there are many of you with great ones!
I don't really "talk" to them in sentences...and try to keep stuff simple.
