We always talk to them and they respond back to us in their own way. They may not have a large vocabulary but they do each know certain words. More than anything, they love us and we love them.

This is a very interesting one to read. I never knew cats responded to words, that is something new for me! It is so cool of you to talk to them since they were babies, maybe that's how you "trained" them unknowingly. While you're being awesome, do keep sharing photographs of your cat experiences!Andrea Charleshttps://www.bloghasting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-22332145991291630172020-02-28T22:02:23.117-06:002020-02-28T22:02:23.117-06:00We do have some pretty special gud dugs and kattie...We do have some pretty special gud dugs and katties don't we Gayle!

Our town has a strict leash law and all pets are to be on a leash or in a fenced yard when outside. We have a fenced backyard but as any cat parent knows that will not do much good with a cat. The shelter where we got them even encouraged that we not let them out. I think all cats are very intelligent in many different ways. Since we adopted these after we retired we have been able to play and work with them a lot which helps. Zeus loves to play fetch with a toy mouse. They have many toys (mostly homemade) and learn through play plus we have always talked to them and that helps their understanding of language.

She watches them on the TV on her cat videos. Her favorites are the ones with chipmunks and squirrels. Your two are very interested in what goes on outside beyond the windows and have several favorites. Annie is terrified of loud noises so she runs under the bed when the snow plows and trucks or lawnmowers or weed whippers go by. She wouldn't appreciate the Santa bus because she's scared of kids, too. She's really a timid thing. I love seeing your two and hearing about them. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-20760318864629623712020-02-26T22:45:17.353-06:002020-02-26T22:45:17.353-06:00I'm a little partial but I think they are pret...I'm a little partial but I think they are pretty smart.
