I swear my cat barked.

My first cat barked on occasion. My whole family heard it.

The new cat 5 has a really tiny high pitched girly sort of meow. Very quiet, I can barely here him from 20 feet away. My older cat Jezabel can blow your eardrums out, she is hardcore loud.

One of my childhood cats barked at a friend’s terrier. Then the other cat decided to kill it and we had to lock him in my bedroom to prevent this.

We once had a cat who if you asked him, “Who is the Glorious Leader of the People’s Republic of China?” and tugged on his tail, he’d give you the correct answer.

All the current cat ever says is “NOW!”

Yeah, your cat probably barked. Probably either to confuse you or to observe your reaction. The same way dogs like to condition Psych students to make notes on their clipboard when the pooches salivate or not.

You might enjoy this comic.

You had a cat that said, “Xi Jinping”? :slight_smile:

“When would you like your dinner?”
“NOW!”

“When would you like to go out?”
“NOW!”

“When would you like to claw our faces off?”
“NOW!”

:smiley:

Our older cat occasionally barks. She also chatters like a monkey when she sees a squirrel. Most disconcertingly, she sounds exactly like a babbling human toddler just before she throws up.

Siamese cats frequently sound like human babies crying.

Tell me about it. She also does a thoroughly brain-destroying howl when we don’t hop to fast enough for the Princess’ liking.

My ringneck dove’s vocabulary includes both giggling (when landing on something or just at random) and quacking (generally when irritated).

Siamese cats are ENTITLED, and we’d better not forget that. And a Siamese queen in heat has to be heard to be believed. She wants every tom in the state to know that she is AVAILABLE.

SO glad Princess Razorfang Scissorpaws is fixed! She’s quite vocal enough WITHOUT heat, TYVM.

My eleven-year-old Siamese cross has always been chatty, but she’s gotten even more so over the past year or so. She came into the kitchen while I was making dinner today and very clearly said, “Mama!”

(I think she’s a little too old to call me that. She should really switch to “Mom” soon.)

My Siamese girl can also say “MAMA!”. And she will, if you ignore her for long enough, or if you put your hands behind your back and tell her that you don’t have any hands, so she isn’t going to get petted.

Mine’s not Siamese, though. Run-of-the-mill ginger.

Unfortunately, the kitty’s not barking. He’s sick.

No barking over here, but one of my cats sounds like a pigeon.
