I was sat there thinking and wondering whilst looking at my cats. Do they talk? Sometimes when I come home from work and let them know I am in they meaow back to me. I wonder are they talking or are they just responding to each other. My kitten also likes to coo at pidgeons now do cats know every animal language or are they just imitating. What do they think. Do you think they are just like us thinking everyday things or do they just think about food and sleep. Do they really like us or are they just being nice for food. They are so comical like sometimes if you tell my cat off it will run back up to you and tap you on the hand and then run away. If it didn't have an imagination would it really do this? The life of cats. Do they talk or not?
