Cat can say his own name

Post by IRiSHMaFIA »

A Chinese man says his cat can clearly pronounce his own name.

Image

Mr Sun, from Beijing, says two-year-old Agui says his name when he gets frightened.

"Last year I was helping him take a bath, and he was scared of the water. After couple of 'miaow's, I heard a clear 'Agui'.

"At first I doubted what I was hearing, but he kept calling his name, very clearly, and sounding like a child."

Mr Sun says that from then on, Agui has said his own name whenever he is frightened.

"At bath time, when he gets a shot from the vet, or gets scared playing outside, he cries out, 'Agui'," he added.

The Fangzhuang Pet Hospital has filmed Agui saying his name when Mr Sun pretended to give him a bath.

A hospital spokesman said repeatedly hearing his own name would have made an impression on Agui which comes out under stress.

"If the owner can give him systematic training, the cat should be able to speak more Chinese," a spokesman claimed.

My cat can say it's name too. 'Miaow!' (OK its not a very original name)

It's about as likely as the guy who changed his name to M564 LJK to save on the cost of getting a personalised number plate.

Hehe, cute. Although "Agui" is the sort of thing a cat could say accidentally, so I doubt he's doing it on purpose!

Incidentally, has anyone seen this video? It's probably old news, but it gets me everytime:

That sounds like an old woman saying it. It's really the cat?

I have to watch this again, but if it's for real it's a keeper lol

*edit*

It's throat's moving so I guess it is real. I've not heard anything like that before in my life. That's mad lol

Yea, it's definitely real. My cat is a chocolate point siamese and he can do similar things, but just not as spectacularly. He can go "ol-ol-ol-ol" and stuff :)

If you could train him to put an 'e' on the 'ol' I'd fancy renting him off you for watching footie....well as long as he did it when United scored goals that is :dancer:

I've watched that video like 10 times now. I just can't get over it!

... I have three cats, two are especially clever. One can say "meowwk" when he wants a drop of milk, and another says "owwwwt" when she wants to go out (she is also very proficient at projectile vomiting!) :wow:
The other doesn't say much but he is very generous at bringing home small furry animals.

My Father in law had a cat that thought it was a dog. It would go out on walks with him, following him to someones house, waiting outside (sometimes for several hours) and then walking back home again.

When cats get mad like that and make those noises and makes me laugh.

Our dog Tricksy sounds like a tauntaun from Star Wars and Mocha sounds like an alien.
