It probably won’t come as a revelation to anyone that cats are able to perceive human speech.

According to research data, a trained cat can remember up to 100 words.

What words do cats know?

Firstly, almost all domestic cats know the word “good boy”, because it is often said by their owners.

Try experimenting with your pet - tell him "good boy" and watch the reaction: the kitten will probably start purring.

In addition to words of praise, Murkas and Marquises know many words related to food - both with products and with an invitation to have a snack, for example, “do you want to eat?”

Your cat may be able to recognize the word "refrigerator" - it all depends on what exactly you say in your pet's presence.

Finally, cats are likely to know their own name and the names of other family members, as well as the nicknames of other animals if they live in the company of another cat or dog.
