Sounds your cat makes

[Kuisse0002]

I know this sounds so silly almost ridiculous! but my cat - when she sees me in
the morning (she's at her friendliest and most affectionate - because its
feeding time!) and I'm cuddling her and petting her - she makes a sound which
sounds so much like she's saying a word - "wa - wa" and when I say "maaa-ma"
she also tries to repeat it! same intonation and emphasis. Its amazing and I
must try to record it. Is this at all possible for cats to try to imitate
sounds?

I think they do! and in reverse, when my cats says something to me and I echo
it back to her, she will keep saying it too... which I often think, I wonder
what she's saying and she thinks I'm a nutcase for just saying it back...

Ah, but you're not simultaneously positioning your ears and widening or
narrowing your eyes or taking specific stance positions. She's probably
thinking you're mentally deficient for not properly pronouncing it with
its accompanying body language!

Judging from the replies - then its quite common that cats do make certain
sounds and I am not hearing things after all! Cheers!

Yes. Mine says "Ma-ma" and "out" all the time, at appropriate times.
Sometimes he says "yeah". Seriously. If I say "Peewee, say ma-ma" he
says "ma-ma", plain as day. :)
