Cats don’t “speak” anything, as they don’t have the physical mechanisms to form speech as we know it. What I have always found interesting is that for the most part, cat’s don’t vocalize as a part of their social behavior in the wild a great deal unless threatened or injured. Most of their

Yes, my wife brought an Italian speaking cat to our marriage. Scopa, which means broom, would immediately cause the cat to run for cover. My mother-in-law used a broom to administer correction; brandishing a broom would have an even greater effect. Once we went to Wisconsin to visit my

About the only times I knew cats to 'talk' were when mother cats would call the kittens to put them away for the night, or the way two toms tell each other it's time to open a can of whoop-ass. Mitch. On July 5, 2015 at 1:04 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Cats

True Leopard cats (from Asia and parts of Indonesia) are protected by law and cannot be brought into the US. They’re probably hybrids, which are known as Bengals. Bengals are the result of outbreeding between a Leopard and a domestic cat, and until you’ve outbred to the F4 (fourth filial
