I've been conducting a little experiment to see how many words my cats seem to understand.
Obviously they understand their names and will come when called.
All three Tallulah , Tippi and Ruby seem to understand certain words like :
Dinner
Baby
Sweetie pie
Beautiful
Good girl
Bad girl
Good night
Additionally Tallulah and Ruby , but not Tippi seem to understand:
Jump up
Chicken
Fetch it
I am sure there must be other words I use they understand , but these are the ones which got the most recognition from my girls.
I can see that some of these words are command words and some are affectionate words.
But they do seem to understand the meaning of these words.
I know dogs can understand a lot of human words , but my girls also seem to understand them too.
So what type of words do your cats respond to ?
