Ummm... you might want to reconsider if there are children present. A man in New Zealand swears up and down that his cat can talk, but two of the seven words he knows could get you slapped by yo mama. According to the Northern Territory News, Robert Duncan's chatty kitty, known as Picininny, can say "mum, no, now, what and why," along with two other words that are better suited for a Quentin Tarrantino script than this blog. Duncan told the Northern Territory News that Picininny mostly gets his motor mouth going when he's hungry or late at night. Duncan said the foul-mouthed feline's first word was "mum," which he started saying at about six months. But what's more, Duncan insists Picininny isn't a parrot - he knows what he's saying.
"He calls out to [my wife] and everything - He'll sit at the back window while she's in the garden, calling out 'mum,'" Duncan told the Northern Territory News. And if you don't pay attention to Picininny, you might be in for an earful. During the Duncans' wedding reception, which took place in their back yard, Picininny is said to have spent most of his time swearing at guests from the bedroom window. Bad kitty! Duncan says he's going to try to catch the cat chatting on tape. 13 CommentsLeave a comment |

Meowy #@$%! interesting.
So what? My cat can dance, sing and recite the entire Gettysburg address while hanging with one claw from a tree branch.
This kind of story should be available on video.
Why even have a comment section if you don't publish the comments? Esp. when you have a BS story like this one. This is like the crap in the Star or National Enquirer...not really news.
Dear Ranz,
Thank you! Maybe this isn't the right blog for someone of your discriminating tastes.
Bye now!
Ranz is cranky this morning...hangover?
My cat makes some weird sounds sometimes, almost like he's talking but I just can't figure out what he's saying.
Probably "bring food" or "pet me".
One of my cats DOES FETCH. It took me three years to train her but she is relentless when she's in the mood to do this. My arm gets tired when I'm playing fetch with her while watching TV. She brings her "mousie" back to me and when she tires of this fetching, she puts mousie in the food bowl. Sometimes I find mousie in the water bowl!!
No kidding...........
Awwwwwww!!! So cute! Clearly, she's a feline genius.
Jersey is FAMOUS!!!
I've had a couple of cats call me Momma but 7 words seems a bit to many. I wonder if he hears the words before or after his 4th beer. ;o)

I raised all kinds of cats. I noticed that the wild cats that were family cats were more responsive and communicative than the house cats. The house cats would make noises and claim their spots. But, the ones that grew up wild but lived as part of the family were VERY vocal and very specific about what they were trying to say. My wife once freaked out because she swears she saw one of the cats literally "tell" me verbally what kind of food they wanted. When I didn't have what the critter wanted I told her that and she understood and got mad and showed it after repeating this very specific request. I can't repeat this request on line because it is a combination of sounds that I can't reproduce in text. Nonetheless, the several of the cats could "talk" and be VERY specific in what they were either requesting or stating. With absolutely no mistaking what they were saying. The whole trick was to raise them from birth and be their mentor throughout their entire life. The really hard part about it was that the smartest and most responsive cats were wild and many had untimely violent deaths even though we loved them dearly, they were wild. After weeming they made a decision to remain a part of the pride and as weird as it sounds I guess I was the king of a pride of wild Felis domesticus.
Cthulha is right about outside cats, or born "in the wild" cats being more responsive than the ones born indoors. My cat, (the one who fetches) was born outside, in the rain, under a car of a business parking lot. I managed to get her to come to me. After that, I got my other cat, born indoors, she shows no interest in any fetching but she WILL come back "home" after I let them both out every morning for 30 minutes. Both respond to my call outs for their name. and the indoor kitty always comes right back after 30 mins., (I guess she got a kitty watch while she was growing up........?) on the other hand, it takes Sugar a while to come back up...........
True, really...........
