Just wondering how many have felines that understand how many words and
phrases.

Of course, all of mine know the phrase "Are you guys getting HUNGRY?".
I LOVE to whisper that when they are all napping - it's an instant
stampede into the kitchen.

Cosmo seems to have a large understanding vocabulary ... if I ask him
"You want to go open the back door?" he FLIES into the bedroom so I can
open the sliding door so he can look out and sniff the air. Or when my
sister pulls up and I tell him "Kim is here to see you." he goes nuts
'cause he just loves her. He understands quite a bit. Or when I get him
a new toy I will tell him "Hey Cos, I got somethin' for ya." he knows
what that means and runs out to see what it is. He enjoys sitting in a
room full of people and listen intently to what everyone is saying.

My Dusty cat goes crazy if I ask her "Where is your toy?" She
immediately starts talking back to me and looks for it. Sometimes she
will find it and bring it to me. Or in the morning I will tell her "You
be a good girl." and she knows that means I am leaving, and she runs to
stand in front of the door to argue with me about going out. Lately she
really seems to be picking up the phrase "Get 'em." She will actually
chase the boys when I tell her that (is that wrong?).

And Oreo ... well ... Oreo is still very much the adolescent male. If
he was human he'd be one of those 14 year old boys with feet that are
too big that he's always tripping over, and starting every sentence
with "Duh....". But he's coming around. He seems to be a very sharp
cat. Cosmo is teaching him a lot. Just gotta work with him some more.

Who else has 'understanding' cats?
