[I collect VHS tapes]

I live in a big city and we have a lot of stray cats

usually they just make cat sounds, especially when begging for food

but every now and then talk like humans. they usually say 'hello' over and over again. other times they sound like a baby crying. not very cat like.

do all cats do this? I guess I never noticed but I've never had a pet cat

I always wonder why tree's look funny at me as I pass by. And howw dogs also want to smell my ass instead of only those of other dogs.....

Cats make a lot of different sounds. Some of them sound human-like. Just like it happens with goats screaming.

If I had to guess, it's where the term "copycat" comes from. Cats will mimic people on occasion

Cats only really meow to communicate with humans. It makes sense they try to mimic us as best as they can to get our attention. They don’t really meow at each other when having conversations. They communicate with each other through scents and body language.

Meow can kinda sound like they are saying Hello.

Cats makes so many different noises. Chirping, chatting, squeaking, hissing, and yes when they fight they make a wailing sound which can sound like a crying baby.

Cats are adorable.

I never really understood this kind of video. All I hear is different "meow" and people are like "He said I love you".
I recognize some looks like mimicking attempt but most of them are just "meow" for me and people want to hear thing. It's like the videos you can see where you hear different things according to what word you read or think at the same time.

I thought that too, which could also explain it. Who knows I guess

They observe and learn what gets a response.

My youngest boy spent a lot of time as a baby in the window watching and listening to the chickens that live on the land opposite and he sometimes makes chicken “brrr” noises when he’s about to be mischievous or when he goes for a shit in his litter.

Are you talking about a cat shitting in litter or a young boy

 

[willothedog]

dogs talk too

 

[GymWolf]

Dogs do the same, they say mama or other words, they also try to copy how the owner speak, huskies being the best at that

I can't deny on this one.
I am all for fun but in this case it scares me that some people really believe their cat is speaking to them.

My son could talk to the bees in our neighborhood. Is this what is going on here. He helped our neighbor with the bees and he would see them in the yard and talk to them, and he said they would talk to him.

When he can talk to the birds too, he'll be a full man

I believe we underestimate the intellectual capacity of our pet companions.

Dogs don’t wipe their butts—maybe there’s a correlation?

I think everyone who has a dog (and forms a friendship with it) will 100% agree with you.

Do goats scream? I heard the story about the singing donkey.

Bees are amazing! It remains a wonder to see how well-organized bees (and ants) operate and defend each other.



Where does that collective consciousness come from? A single bee knows nothing, but hundreds of bees know exactly what to do to kill the hornet or wasp using heat. Very impressive. They got visibly sick of that hornet and attacked immediatly.

I hope I haven’t hijacked this topic. I might be going a bit off-topic talking about other animals. I also have two cats and I can talk hours about them. Two sisters that were born on the streets.

I have a huge soft spot for animals—except for a few, haha—and they fascinate me. That’s why I’m jumping into this discussion.
